The modern St. Valentine's Day celebrations are said to have been derived from both ancient Christian and Roman tradition. As per one legend, the holiday has originated from the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalis, a fertility celebration that used to observed annually on February 15. But the rise of Christianity in Europe saw many pagan holidays being renamed for and dedicated to the early Christian martyrs. Lupercalia was no exception. In 496 AD, Pope Gelasius turned Lupercalia into a Christian feast day and set its observance a day earlier, on February 14. He proclaimed February 14 to be the feast day in honor of Saint Valentine, a Roman martyr who lived in the 3rd century. It is this St. Valentine whom the modern Valentine's Day honors.
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, there were at least three early Christian saints by the name of Valentine. While one was a priest in Rome, another was a bishop in Terni. Nothing is known about the third St. Valentine except that he met his end in Africa. Surprisingly, all three of them were said to have been martyred on 14th February.

Getting also means Losing
When I was a child, I hoped to grow up quickly; When I grow up, only to find that I lost the childhood. When I am single, I admire the couple sweet love; but wen I fall in
love, I miss single freedom. A lot of things that we don't own are always the best, but after we get them, we begin to understand: when we get, we also lost something.
One day your edges will be worn in the world
One day your edges will be worn in the world, you're going to pull the thorn, you'll learn to hate people smiling.

Quote of the day-Change your thoughts, to assist in making you think of any situation in different ways.
The people you will always remember are the one's who made you feel loved when you were at your lowest."(Brigitte Nicole)
Don't forget the one who Helped you. Don't hate the one who Loved you. Don’t Cheat the one who Believes you
It is amazing that some people in your life make you smile even though they are not around.
Who spoke before never separated, already scattered in the horizon.
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live. (Mae Jemison)
You know my name, not my story.
Don't lose hope. You never know what tomorrow will bring
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
Beautiful Pictures Collecting- Peaceful Retiring Places
When I am getting old, with my most loved man, looking for a small quiet town, we live together peacefully. In the morning we sit at a lane to see
the sunrise , in the evening we lean together to watch the sunset.

we will never fade in each other's hearts
Find one you like to go to travel together. Only a person walking the world is always feeling lonely in the mind. While when two persons together travel, even if one day we are no longer young and grow older and older, but in each other's eyes we will never fade in
each other's heart, hand in hand to see all this world.
