The legend of Valentine's Day

I had read in some of the articles this story for "valantine's day" and I want to share it with you guys .

The feast of love (Valentine) the festivals of the pagan Romans, it was a pagan Romans prevailed upon by more than seven centuries. It is an expression in the pagan Roman concept of divine love. For this pagan festival Legends continued with Romans,and with the heirs of the Christians.

Came in encyclopedias on this day that the Romans were celebrating named (Obrkalaa) on February 15 of each year, and the habits and rituals of pagan; where they offer sacrifices alleged gods, in order to protect their pastures from wolves, and this was the day agrees they have spring break; where he was freelance months differs from the existing account, but this is what happened today to have become a February 14 in Rome in the third century AD.

At that time it was the Christian religion at the beginning of its inception, the time was ruled Romania Empire Emperor Claides II, who denied the marriage on the soldiers so as not to distract them from fighting wars, but St. (Valentine) didn't responded to this provision, and did a marriage contract in secret, but soon exposed ordered him and sentenced him to death, and in the prison fell in love with the daughter of the jailer, and this was secretly because being denied the priests and monks in the law of the Christian marriage and romantic relationships, but also accompanied him to the Christians persistence on Christianity, where the emperor offered to forgive him to leave Christianity  and serve the gods Romans and have a close and it Sra him, except that (Valentine) rejected the offer and he died on February 14, 270 AD the night of February 15 festival (to Obrkalaa), and since then dubbed the "saint."

After years when Christianity spread in Europe and became its sovereignty changed spring break, and became on February 14, the feast named St. Festival (Valentine) to revive his memory; it ransoms Christian spirit and sponsored loving, and it has become a ritual that day, exchange of red roses and cards with pictures (Cupid) Representative child has two wings, carrying a bow ,he is a god of love to the Romans,which they were worshiping without God !! The differing accounts came on this day and that man, but they all revolve around these meanings.
