KINIKILIG PO BA KAYO SA TUWING DARATING ANG FEBRUARY 14 O VALENTINE'S DAY? IF YES, KUNG GAYON, ANG MENSAHENG ITO AY PARA PO SA INYO!
Kinikilig po ba kayo sa tuwing darating ang February 14 o Valentine's Day? If Yes, kung gayon, ang mensaheng ito ay para po sa inyo!!! The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Still others insist that it was Saint Valentine of Terni, a bishop, who was the true namesake of the holiday. He, too, was beheaded by Claudius II outside Rome. Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial
