Real Valentine's Day


I can bet that there are lots of things going on in this Earth today. Everyone knows what day is today. Lots of people know Valentine's day as the day of sharing love. Many people wronged Valentine's day with these because they don't really know the history of Valentine's

Valentine's day was first celebrated on 1969 when a martyr, a Christian martyr, named Valentinus died and people started to celebrate Valentine's Day every 14 February to remember about what he did. According to what my religion teacher says, Valentinus died helping poor people and he risk every inch of his life for them. Which is where Valentine's Day started. It is said that there wasn't even any romance in Valentine's Day at first.

Later then, people forgot about the history. They started to use that day to share love with family, friends, and soulmates. Me, myself agreed about this because sometimes I don't realize and forget about the history, too. But ask yourself. Suppose if Valentine's Day is the day of love and romance, aren't everyday should be Valentine's day? We should love our neighbors for the whole 365 days a year. God told us to do so.

Celebrating Valentine's day is always a fine thing to do, but we'll have to realize what actually we are celebrating. That is one of those things that we have to take note at. We shouldn't do something if we don't have any reason. In fact now, Happy Valentine's, people! :D
