Happy Valentine's Day

Event that I believe one should spread love daily (not only on special occasion), but there is no violation against that idea if I greet you all with this lovely Valentine's Day card I've found from this Call Center Gal blog.


Some "facts" that I've heard about this day, are:
  • Feb 14th was the day, a bishop beheaded because of his act of love towards young couples in Rome (270AD)
  • Pope Galasius declared the first official St Valentine’s Day on February 14 in the memory of martyred priest of the third century in Rome (496AD)
  • Some even mentioned a pre-historic (closer to mythological history, I may say) relevance to the marriage of Zeus and Hera in the festival of the god of fertility.
  • But some just say, it's the time when pigeons mate. So yeah, lots of love is in the air.
Anyway, it's all true, only in different version, I say. So, Happy Loving Day, Happy Valentine's Day to you all!
