Similar to the other festivals, there is an
inherent special meaning that conveys the true significance of the Valentine’s
Day. Since the original meaning has been lost over the time, we believe that
Valentine's Day is about being in love. When it comes to Valentine's Day the
thoughts that come in our minds are red
roses, candy in heart- shaped boxes, and syrupy sweet and of course Valentine's cards and gifts.
This festival had begun
with the life and death of a man. A bishop by the name of Valentine who stood
against an Emperor's decree that Roman soldiers could not marry. He married
them in secrecy because he thought the Emperor's edict was wrong and went
against the glory of young love. Valentine's acts were a great discovery. In
memory of Valentine's conducts, Pope Gelasius declared him a saint, and the day
of his execution February 14th, became Valentine's Day since then.
In earlier times,
Valentine's Day initially marked the commemoration of the man. Years after his
death, young men offering notes of affection to young ladies they admired. By
the Middle Ages, the Day was recognized as the day of courtship and love. Valentine's
Day is about friendship, love, care and exchanging these emotions through cards
and candies. For some Valentine's Day is about the hope of love where teenagers
present giggles and blushes to their crushes. This is an incredibly special
day for those who choose to participate and celebrate it. This Valentine’s Day
is a gentle reminder that we are all human beings with hearts that can be loved,
which does not understand logic and has no conception of religion and language
barriers which eventually destroys the peace and harmony in the world today. Let us restore peace and harmony in the
world through the message of love on Valentine’s Day.
