The Story of St. Valentine

Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day happens every year on February 14. Red and pink hearts, along with chubby cupids, decorate stores, offices, and classrooms. Children often make cards to give to their friends and their families. Adults make or buy special cards for the people they love. Friends may give gifts of candy, flowers, jewellery or clothing.
The cards given on Valentine's Day are called "valentines." Valentines often have poems written on them. One of the most popular Valentine's poem is the following:
Roses are red;
Violets are blue;
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you.
Valentine's Day is not a legal holiday. This means that businesses and schools are open. Mail is delivered. But Valentine's Day is still a very special day. Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to tell someone "I'm glad you're my friend," or "I love you."

The Story of St. Valentine (Legend One)

St. Valentine was a Christian priest who lived in 270 A.D. (270 A.D. means 270 years after Christ was born.) At that time, the Roman government controlled much of the world.

The Roman government needed many soldiers to protect its lands. The Emperor Claudius II decided that married men did not make good soldiers because they wanted to stay at home with their wives and children. He made a very strange law that said young men were not allowed to marry. He also said that any priest who married a young couple would be put to death.
A priest named Valentine disobeyed the Emperor. He secretly married many young couples. When the Emperor found out, he had Valentine imprisoned. Valentine was beheaded for his disobedience on February 14. Since Valentine had helped lovers, the day he died became a day for people to express love for others.

The Story of St. Valentine (Legend Two)

The Roman government did not like the Christian religion, so Christians were persecuted and were not allowed to worship as they pleased. The Roman government thought they could get rid of the Christian faith by persecuting Christians.
A priest named Valentine continued to practice faith in spite of the persecution. He refused to worship the Roman gods. This made the Emperor Claudius II very angry. Claudius II had Valentine arrested and put into prison.
Valentine spent one year in prison. The prison was very uncomfortable. He had to sleep on a cold, hard floor, and he had very little food. But Valentine was not sad. He had always been kind to children, and they remembered his kindness. The children threw flowers and kind notes to him through the prison bars. Valentine had made friends with the jailer's blind daughter. She would bring these notes and flowers to him. Whenever he could, Valentine sent notes back out to the children.
The Emperor Claudius II was impressed by Valentine's kindness. He said that Valentine could go free if he would worship the Roman gods. Valentine refused. Instead, he did a very bold thing and tried to convert Claudius II to Christianity. This made Claudius II very angry. He said that Valentine would be put to death.
During the days before his execution, Claudius prayed for the jailer's blind daughter, and she regained her sight. Valentine was beheaded on February 14. Before he died, he wrote a farewell message to the jailer's daughter and signed it "From Your Valentine." Some people say we remember his death by sending kind messages to our friends.

Its not that I love you because you are beautiful, but you are beautiful becuase I love you.


We are all a little weird and life's a little weird,
and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours,
we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.


Love is Life Love is knife.
It cuts our throat,
till the time we thrive,
sorrow and nature, don't go aside,
but smile and say,
that u r my Valentine...Happy Valentine's Day 2009!


Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. Happy valentines day 2009.


I Promised u once, il promise u twice this love will never end that i feel so deep inside, i loved u yesterday and even more 2 day and i never want this feeling 2 go away, Baby your my Everything, my Angel from above, you feel my life with so much love meme

happy valentine day

Trip over love, you can get up. Fall in love and you fall forever.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind

The lover is a monotheist who knows that other people worship different gods but cannot himself imagine that there could be other Gods.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

Love helps us to communicate with God

Sometimes we make love with our eyes.

Love is like a butterfly. It goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes.

Love is like a fire. Whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn your house down, you'll never know.

Draw a circle, not a heart, around the one you love because a heart can break but a circle goes on forever.

To the one that got away
Happy valentines day! I wish things had turned out different and you had realized giving me a second chance. I can't just turn my feelings off. I will always remember the good times we had over the year, especially the trip to Florida. I'm sorry I had issues, and didn't handle my surgery and rehab well. I realized now that you were trying to be there for me.

To my sweetest darling
Thanks for making my life so beautiful and colorful!!
Always remember I Love U the Most!
Only your's

I've realized I need to become more like I was 5-10 years ago. When you left I remember thinking "Why didn't she say she wants to get back with me?" realizing that now, I flip it over and think, "Why didn't I say I want to get back with Corinne". That is why I say I'm sorry. I've realized I can love, and be loved.
I'll remember you forever.

May all the lovers across the world get the love of their life. Happy Valentine's Day to all!! Cheers


When I need friend, you are here with me.
When I need help, you are here with me.
When I need someone who care, you are here with me.
When I need someone who love, you are here with me.
When I need someone who's special, you are here with me.
I miss you so much..
I love you so much..

Hi Honey

To my husband
I just wanted you to know that from the bottom of my heart and soul the day we became one was so special and true. You mean more to me than you will ever know. May be I don’t say the right things or be what you expected but you’re everything I’ve wanted just never knew it. I’m sorry for the nagging and moaning I do. I just want you to be a part in everything I do. So from me to you on our first married valentine, I just want to thank you for the fact that you’re all mine.
Your loving wife

To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.

Love is a languague that every heart speaks. . Its sharing dreams and turning them to reality. It's the ocean of love and warmth of friendship that makes my life:-)

Happy Valentine

Loving Ithi

Sometimes I think that you Love me because I am "I" or am I "I" because you Love me. Ithi, If I know what love is, it is because of you. A part of you has grown in me, we shall be never part, may be in distance, but never in heart. First duty of our Love is-to Listen because Love is like that Canvas that if furnished by Nature and embroidered by Imagination. Always remember, "If you have Love in your life, you don't need to have anything else but if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have." With Lots of Valentine Wishes

Your Love

As I search through myself
deep within my heart It's her that I want through the visions of my eye it's her that i see
Inside my ear it's her whispers that i hear everywhere in my mind it's her that i find
although she's not near i know she's there my knight in shinning armour!!!
Happy Valentine to my dream girl...

Said I luved you but I lied,
coz this is more than Love what I feel inside
Said I luved you but I was wrong,
coz Luv could never feel so strong
You came out of my dreams, out of the blue, into my life,
Said I luved you but I lied.

one cup of friendly words 2 heaping cups of understanding
four heaping cups of time and patience a pinch of warm personality
a dash of humor
Method: measure words carefully

'Love is a divine power which gives right over a particular person'. For her, friend is a person sailing in the ship of frankness. Happy Valentine day to my parents and friends who make my dreams come true!

Love and friendship are two sides of a coin. Make friends. Wishing ‘Happy Valentine Day to all of them who are a part ofl my life.

Love means an illusion, false promises, fooling around, expensive - just a Dreaded Word! True Love dont exist. Valentine Day is only for people who are not sure of their Love

"Love is a sacrifice, friendly relationship between two persons who are bound to understand, share each other's feelings throughout whole life together."

Love is an affair of the heart. Love is between people who care for each other. Love is friendship with a difference.
Message to All my loved special one:I swear, like the moon and the stars in the sky, like a shadow that's by your side, for better or worse till death do us part, I love u with every beat of my heart, I swear....

Well about love bugs...I can say that you can enjoy that part. The ultimate reality in the world is that every person is interested in him/her self. Let it be any relation. And love yes..love means selflessness and compassion. It is the feeling of to gatherness. I think love is universal and can not be contained between male and female and only two persons. Again as i said it is all programming of mind. Thoughts can be produced and love can be felt. To produce the thoughts of love, we need an object to love to. That's why we choose somebody acceptable to mind and then start loving.

Love cannot be defined. It can be felt. It is based on matching wavelengths, understanding, care and trust. Most important is Love is a feeling from within the heart. A person can love too many people at a time, the nature of loving is different. A mom, friend, girlfriend or a wife, each identity is separate and so is love which differs as per our affection. Love should be a neutral, selfless, a sacrifice too. It should give peace and contenment.

"Love is pleasure, Love is fun, It makes you go crazy, It makes you run, Accept it, avoid it, treat it as a treat, forget it, forgive it, Love is a feat." Love is a splendour thing which makes the world go round and so, watch out, beware this Valentine Day, is my message to all. Love your friends as yourself but think before you leap. Love has to be true, understanding, trusting, mingling, adjusting, compromising, sharing, binding together to share joys and sorrows. It can be felt. This is love according to me.

If U delete this SMS thats bcoz u love me.
If u save it thats bcoz u desire me
&
if u ignore it thats bcoz u miss me.
So what u gonna do with IT?

They taught me that 1 hour equals 60 minutes and that 1 minute equals 60 seconds, but they never told me that 1 second without you can lost for ever!

A genie granted me 3 wishes. I said i won't b havin 3 wishes not even 2. I told him I wud only wish 4 1 thing.. Baby! I wished 4 u!

Love is the warmth that fills my heart whenever I see your face, it's the comfort I dind in the circle of your embrace !

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still here you
If there were no tears
No it to feel inside
I would still feel for you
And even if the sun refuse to shine
Even if all ends ran out Love
I would still have you here
Until the end of time
All I need is you my VALENTINE.


i ve searched my heart for dawords 2 say just how much u mean 2 mi.
u r al of God's Blessings rolled into one.my dreams,
my desires,my evening,my sun,my evening walking moment,
my hpes en my fears,mydisillusion, my contentment,
my joy nd my tears. But most important of all,
i tank God when i pray bcoz u mke every moment my VALENTINE DAY.
