Valentine’s Day

“Have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills
Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain:
I have seen the lady April bringing in the daffodils,
Bringing the springing grass and the soft warm April rain.”

Today I want to say about Valentine’s Day. Every February we celebrate Valentines Day by giving flowers, candy and cards to those we love. Saint Valentine’s Day or Valentine’s Day is on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other.
Legend has it that Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. There was an Emperor at that time by the name of Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married. With this thought in mind he outlawed marriage for young men in hopes of building a stronger military base. Supposedly, Valentine, decided this decree just wasn’t fair and chose to marry young couples secretly. When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine’s actions he had him put to death.
I saw blog about Valentine’s Day. You may see coloring pictures, e-card and poems. I think that Valentine’s Day is very important day for people because in this day you may find your love.
