"KtVdlentin^Spiri t
Today all over tha world
people are celebrating VAL
ENTINES aiY as the "festi
val of hearts."
There are many myths re
lating to the beginning of
Valentine ■'^ay, but the
folloviring is perhaps the
most beautiful:
Sairt Valentine, a bishop
and martyr of the church,
v/as seized and put intc
prison by the Romans be
cause of his Christian be
lief. As the story goes,
he would save crumbs from
his me%ls and sprinkle
them on the window sill of
his cell for the birds. In
return for the crumbs, the
birds would bring .fiolot
leaves on which St. Valen
tine would write messages
of hope and cheer. The
birds delivered "these
messages to the sick and
to other friends of St,
Valentine,
TOKENS
On February 14, 270, St.
Valentine was put to death.
Since then, people send
tokens.of love and friend
ship to their friends in
shape of hearts, represent
ing voilet leaves. These
are often comical as well
as sontimenta1.
Today Valentine Day is
only a day of "social
pleasentry" when v;e send
Valentines to our friends,
but long ago it was taken
more seriously. Then it
v/as believed that the
first person of the oppo
site sex one saw on VaDen--
tine Day was to be hit
Valentine for the year M
not for lifer however to
day it is just a . conforn-
i'tyto custom.
