The Irony of Valentines Day :)

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day, a day for lovers, just a little ironic...

While Saint Valentine is the Patron Saint of lovers he himself was renowned for his chastity. Valentine was Roman who was martyred because he declined to give up Christianity. The first written reference to Saint Valentine and his role as the supporter to lovers, smooches and all of the likes within this area of love and passion. Yet history shows it seems to have come from Chaucer.

Within a poem he wrote in the late 14th century. The line in the poem went like this, "For it was one Saint Valentine's Day that every fowl cometh to choose its mate". Okay....sure, swell it's all what makes the world go around.

Now all things considered that’s as in a rooster prowling in the hen house.  Valentine's Day came to be commercialized sometime within the 1800's and continues to this day being associated with cards, chocolates, dinner and gifts between lovers.  

The extent of your generosity depends on how much you want or really do need. This too all depends on whether it's a wife or a girlfriend. A little hint here...If just if it's both, do remember to use two different flower shops if that is your cup of tea.

I recall being in grade three or four sitting at my desk writing out a Valentines to give to the girl I had a crush on hoping she'd give me one so as not to crush my young heart felt fantasies in one blow. And speaking of blows, Valentine certainly took his share I kid you not. As that's how Valentine was killed, beaten to death with clubs.

He passed away on February 14th, 269 A.D.   That really bites! A big ouch for St. Valentine.

Believe it or not as the Emperor Claudius had outlawed marriages. Hideous this Claudius was. As back within that time mainly Claud in lack of better words wished to get ride of Valentine only for a means to gather more men for his army.  

Yet Valentine never ceased and was successful in keeping romance, love and literally marrying people to no end. Is there really an end within that. So much for Claudius and the power he had over this thing called love or lets just call it that little really rather large within history and within those times and how it prevails within these times.  As here still within this very day we are proving Valentine was right and true love can't be "beaten".

The reason to this very day still comes seemingly prevails all within a day dedicated to love thanks to good old Saint Valentine.
