St. Valentines

Cat, blue, lightning, good and who is Saint Valentines?

[fashion-spider.livejournal.com]

That's good! Thank you. Looks like you don't have a concussion, so you're probably only dizzy. Nevertheless, it would be best to avoid strenuous activity for at least a day.

And St. Valentine is the name of the man who helped bring about Valentines day.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Can't really do that though.

*and pretty much staring at you all deeeeeeeeeeerp on that last part :V*

[fashion-spider.livejournal.com]

Well, at least try to take it easy?

[notices, sigh] Do you know what Valentines day is? [say yes if you do not want a history lesson]

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

I suppose I only can as long as no one plans to harm Lady Shurelia.

... ... ... no?

[fashion-spider.livejournal.com]

Who? Anyway, just be careful and come see me if you suddenly feel worse or something, please.

[oh dear, you've drawn this on yourself] Well, Valentines is a holiday held on the 14th of February. The holiday has to do with celebrating love, and it's a tradition that dates back to ancient Rome. The details on it are a little fuzzy, but I think there had been some kind of match-making ceremony involving a fire held on the fifteenth.

But anyway, one of the generals of the Roman empire decided to outlaw marriages, because he didn't want his soldiers distracted by romance or women. However, this didn't stop the soldiers from falling in love and writing letters or poems to their sweethearts (this is what begot the writing of notes and giving of cards to loved ones).

Finally, one priest decided enough was enough. His name was Valentine, and he went about marrying everyone who wished to be married. Obviously, when the general found out about this, he was not happy, and ordered Valentine to be killed, and he died on the fourteenth.

I can't quite remember what happens next, but somehow or other, Valentine is named a saint and the match-making ceremony is moved to the day of his death and renamed in honor of him.

Nowadays, on the holiday it's mostly girls who pass out notes and candy and sweets to their loved ones. A month later, on March 14th, the boys recuperate. But that's just the standard and doesn't really have to be followed.

[oooooops rambles=bad] O-oh, really? Sorry, I kind of got carried away there. I didn't really need all that extra info... why do I remember these useless facts? ...basically Valentines Day is a holiday about love.

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Really? Sounds like a thing Misha would like back home if we had something like that there.

[fashion-spider.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah. Really sorry for the rambling.

...Misha?

So you're familiar with the concept?

[knightofelemia.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's fine. Sorry I just blanked out of most of it.

A friend of mine back home.

And yeah. I understand what it's about but I'm more surprised to see and hear that there is a special event day for that sorta thing.

[fashion-spider.livejournal.com]

That's okay. Most people do.

oh.

Well, there are special days for less, you know. What kind of things did you're holidays celebrate?
