Valentine's Day History

St. Valentine's Day originated from several events and customs. It is named after St. Valentine, who was a Christian priest. A Roman custom also contributed to what we know as Valentine's Day today. They held a festival each year called the Festival of Lupercalia at the same time of the year as Valentine's Day. Later the holiday changed into a holiday to honor the Roman goddess, Juno, whom the Romans believed ruled over marriages. It became a holiday of love. When the Christian church became powerful, the Pope changed the holiday to honor St. Valentine.


Valentine's Day Poems

Making ValentinesIn February, what shall I do?I'll make some valentines for you.The first will have a cupid's face;The second will be trimmed with lace.The third will have some roses pink;The fourth will have a verse in ink.The fifth will have a ribbon bow;The sixth will glisten like the snow.The seventh will have some lines I drew;The eighth, some flowers--just a few.The ninth will have three little birds;The tenth will have three little words:I LOVE YOU!


WILL YOU PLEASE BE MY VALENTINE?

Remember when a Valentine Was just a name that you just drew And you could give that Paper Heart To someone you barely knew. Or you maybe gave your Heart To everybody in your Class Drawn and cut, with Your Words That were so much Fun to pass.And too, those little Candy HeartsThat you used to pass around Searching Colors and the WordsUntil that Perfect o­ne was found.And remember that Special o­neWho made your Heart skip a beat Who you gave that Special Card Who gave your Heart a Special Treat.And remember how easy it was To tell a Classmate, "I Love You!" Not just three meaningless words Cause everyone knew they were True. Oh, for those Days of Innocence When everything seemed to be Just Fine And you weren’t afraid to ask aloud, "Will you please be my Valentine?"
