Joyeuse Saint Valentin to every Sweet Creature around!!! **~* *^* * *^**~* * *

I've often asked myself what was the origin of this Valentine Day... and I found a story about it I rilly like :-)))

Back in the 3rd century, there was a Roman priest named Valentin.
At the time, the Emperor (some Claudius II) had forbidden his soldiers to get married (for marriage made soldiers too dependent on their families).
But then, there was this priest, our Valentin, who resisted and started to celebrate secret weddings, depiste of the law.
Valentin was soon arrested and imprisonned :-((
While in jail, a blind young lady (the daughter of the jailer) used to visit him often...they turned to be real special friends. A miracle happened and the young lady could see again!
But the happy time did not last long. Valentin was to be executed :-(
Just before he got his head cut off, Valentin gave a message (in the shape of a heart) to his young lady friend, and the message started with "From your Valentin, ...."

sniiiiif ....how romantic and saaaad.....booo oooo:-(((
Poor Valentin!

Heads are not so often cut off nowadays but life is short... Love should simply be celebrated as much as possible!! Weeeee:-))**~* * * *^* * *
