Valentines Day

14th February 2017 is globally recognised as the most important Romantic Day of the year ☺

For many years it has been celebrated as a day to show love, nurture and passion for a special someone in life.  It is widely known and more commonly known as a day to also let someone know how you feel. 

People all over the world on this day send cards, chocolates and flowers and cake especially, as gesture tokens of sweet thoughts for someone they have a tender like or soft loving feeling for, or even an admirable love. 

Wives, husbands, long-term partners, boyfriends and girlfriends, children and parents are given a day to open up their feelings and hearts, showing love when usually not so outwardly expressed. 

It is especially helpful for people who are unable to easily express their feelings for someone who they hold particularly special or close, and when they hold admiration or 'true love's sight' for someone, but feel unable to express it well (like some others may) it makes a real good reason for the global day of Valentines.  A day has been created for people to show and prove to each other their love for another feels right and real. 

The origins of Valentines Day is mysterious.  It lingers in history from the time of the Roman Empire and throughout ages it has been known as a time at the end of Winter nearing Spring.
A time selected to express romance more than anytime of the year.  It could be down to the lunar or solar calendar which reflects special times of the year, as peoples across the world chose to show and prove their love for someone around this time.  

St. Valentine of Temi is the patron saint the day of Valentines Day.  He was able to sort out love and its differences. He was able to realise the holy and religious inclinations involved.  After-all Love is Love; it is mostly always obvious and clear to both people courting.  During the reign of Gothicus and later on Claudius, there was an upheaval and the saint cast down upon everyone a holy love, a divine holy love, to relieve troubled burdens. 

From the late 7th Century AD there was a day selected to give thanks to holiness.  In the Renaissance time there was a theological backdrop, setting the belief in history for a Valentines Day, relating to the angels "Cupid" and "Sesare" who gave love and care, shooting arrows to people everywhere.

Showing people their own innermost feelings for others they hold close some scholars and other people believed these special angels came down from heaven at certain points of the year to cast and radiate God's love on others, drawing life's lines together and breaking beyond obtrusions for love to succeed; setting out a more blissful romantic life for couples all over. 

People would leave sweets and delights for angels helping romance and marriage. This custom is seen even in India among Hindu religions. It is a thanks for receiving blessings, as people are aware of God's sweet and joyous love, which is sacred. As God's love is sacred.  Through its sacredness and loving ways, angels and archangels descended down on Earth to assist God's loving nature.  People therefore sense Valentines Day as special, because the concept of God, is the concept of Love. 

Hermes was set in Ancient Greek mythology as the messenger for the Greek gods.  He wore winged anklets gifted by Zeus (God of all gods).  The demi-god flew everywhere so people knew of their own Love for another and the Love between the Greek Gods - 5th Century AD. 

Over the centuries more modern versions and episodes of love, provided more and more emphasis for a need to express romantic love on a particular day.  Even romantic stories in Shakespeare, and his sonnets, expressed love stories which now still echo in people, and remind them the virtue of love, and importance of a Valentines Day.  From 5^th-12^th, through to 18^th Century, and now the modern era, we come to a point in realising, sharing our love for a special someone we hold dear is actually really valuable and important. 

Good and loving words, thoughts and gestures are very significant afterall ☺
