Association mid-February with love and fertility has existed since eternity. According to the chronicles of ancient Athens calendar, the period between mid-January to mid-February is the month of Gamelion, dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera.
In ancient Rome, February 15th was the feast of Lupercalia, a celebration of Lupercus, the god of fertility, which represented half naked and dressed in goat skins. As part of a purification ritual, the priest Lupercus would sacrifice a goat to the god, and after drinking wine, they would run in jejalanan of Rome holding pieces of sheepskin touching anyone they met. Especially young women voluntarily going ahead with it because they believe that they will be blessed with fertility and can give birth easily.
Feast of the Church
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia (Catholic Encyclopaedia 1908), the name may refer Valentinus least three martyr or saint (saints) are different:
* A priest in Rome
* A bishop Interamna (modern Terni)
* A martyr in the Roman province of Africa.
The connection between the three martyrs with the feast of romantic love is not clear. Even Pope Gelasius I, in the year 496, stating that in fact nothing is known about these martyrs but the set February 14 as the feast day of saint Valentine warning. Some say that Pope Gelasius I accidentally set it to outperform the feast of Lupercalia which was celebrated on February 15.
Skeletal remains unearthed from the tomb of Saint Hyppolytus she Via Tibertinus near Rome, identified as the body of St. Valentinus. Then placed in a gold coffin and sent to the church Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland. The body has been given to them by Pope Gregory XVI in 1836. Many travelers now make pilgrimages to this church on Valentine's Day, in which the gold coffin-procession paraded in a solemn procession and brought to a high altar. On that day a special Mass was held and presented to the young people and those who are in a relationship of love.
This feast of the ecclesiastical calendar removed in 1969 as part of a broader effort to remove saints whose origins can be questionable and based just a legend. But this feast is still celebrated in certain parishes.
Valentinius
Gnosticism influential science teacher Valentinus, was a candidate bishop of Rome in 143. In his teachings, wedding bed has a prominent place in a version of her Christian Charity. The emphasis is much different from the concept ... common in the Christian religion. Stephan A. Hoeller, an expert, had this to say about Valentinius on this subject: "In addition to the sacrament of baptism, the strengthening, the Eucharist, the priesthood and petroleum, as well as the flow of gnosis Valentinius two prominent emphasize the great and mysterious sacraments called" penance "(apolytrosis) and" place aisle "..." [1].
Medieval era
First recorded association of St. Valentine's feast day with romantic love is in the 14th century in England and France, where it is believed that 14 February is the day when the birds looking for a partner for mating. This belief is mentioned in the works of renowned Middle English poet Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century. He wrote in the Parlement of Foules story ("The Birds Conversation") that For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne's day ("That is sent on the day of St. Valentine") Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate ("When all the birds come there to pick her partner")
In those days it was common for lovers to exchange notes on this day and call their pasanagan "Valentine" them. A Valentine card from the 14th century is said to be part of the collection pernaskahan British Library in London. Most likely a lot of legends about the saint Valentine created in this era. Some of them told me that:
* The evening before Valentine was a saint would fall as martyrs (dead martyr), he wrote a small confession he gave to the prison warden who says "From Valentinusmu".
* When the Roman soldiers were forbidden to marry by Emperor Claudius II, St. Valentine secretly helped marry them.
In most versions of these legends, February 14 linked to miscarriage as a martyr.
Valentine's Day in the modern era
Valentine's Day was probably imported into North America from Great Britain, a country that colonized the region. In the United States the first Valentine cards are mass produced printed after 1847 by Esther A. Howland (1828 - 1904) of Worcester, Massachusetts. His father owned a bookstore and office supply stores are great and he got the inspiration to produce the card from an English valentine she received. (Since 2001, the Greeting Card Association annually awards issued "Esther Howland Award for a Greeting Card Visionary".)
