Thanks for sharing this one, it's beautiful. <br />M x <a href="http://www.lifeoutsidelondon.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Life Outside London</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888542619720840258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563083586702509112.post-76344265506648772852014-02-14T09:19:31.212-08:002014-02-14T09:19:31.212-08:00Hi Rachel,maybe the title of my post could be inap...Hi Rachel,maybe the title of my post could be inappropriate,but the real intent was to tell a story that I like to believe instead of the historical facts. However if you read it carefully I think that it will become clear. Sometimes my english is not so good,I hope someone else will appreciate my favourite legend.Sweetie Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880291073200868153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563083586702509112.post-49667724259612121982014-02-14T08:46:20.195-08:002014-02-14T08:46:20.195-08:00I find the real story about Valentines more intere...I find the real story about Valentines more interesting than the legends - Valentines isn't just because of that one Valentine that you mentioned and nor was the day originally marked religious for love. There was actually numerous early Christian martyrs named Valentine in and the day originally was honoured to commemorate Valentine of Rome (martyred AD496), Valentine of Terri, the Catholic Church even notes a third saint named Valentine martyred in Africa. So the date really has nothing to do with love - that didn't occur until Chaucer in the 14th century. I prefer it over the legends, because it's the legends that everyone believes is the real reason behind the day, rather than it being a religious date. <br />Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128754833604987577noreply@blogger.com
