" ONE NEVER KNOWS, NOT ONE"

This is my blog dedicated to posting one proverb weekly. No I'm not very religious. I just like writing

I'm just kidding. I had to get your attention. Here's the truth about Valentine's Day.

 

 

Do you know how the whole concept of Saint Valentine's Day began? It's a fascinating story that dates back to the 3rd century AD.

The origins of Valentine's Day can be traced back to a Roman festival called Lupercalia, which was celebrated in mid-February. During Lupercalia, young men would draw the names of young women from a box and pair up with them for the duration of the festival. This practice was believed to promote fertility and matchmaking.

Over time, Lupercalia evolved into a more romantic holiday, and the focus shifted from matchmaking to celebrating love and affection. In the 5th century AD, Pope Gelasius I declared February 14th to be Saint Valentine's Day, in honor of a Christian martyr named Valentine.

The legend of Saint Valentine is shrouded in mystery, but it is believed that he was a priest who performed secret marriages for couples who were forbidden from marrying. He was eventually caught and executed on February 14th, 270 AD.

In the centuries that followed, Saint Valentine's Day became a popular holiday for lovers to express their affection for each other. It is now celebrated worldwide, with people exchanging cards, flowers, and gifts to show their love and appreciation.

 

Being Italian like I always say, we invented everything.

See you in the funny papers.

Tomorrowiscoming​(dom male) - My point, to put it plainly is. He's done nothing to me. He's a fictitious character. He doesn't exist. He was basically developed from a rumor from immigrants coming to this country. The basic meaning of the Easter Bunny is the symbol of fertility and rebirth. That's all that is. I don't hate the Easter Bunny. I can't hate something that doesn't exist. I find great humor in life as life is way too short. I've been around the block once or twice and I've learned one thing. It's very important. Everyday is a gift. Don't waste your time on anything. That's not going to make you laugh. Because our time is precious, and it will be gone soon, we're all going for the same goal in life.We're all going to die one day and that's just a fact. Not to be morbid. It's just the truth. I think everyone should wake up everyday. Put their feet on the floor and laugh their asses off cuz you've already won the day. It's all downhill from there. It's an easy glide anything that goes wrong, you go to bed, think about it and correct it the next day and life will move on. And the fictitious Easter Bunny will continued. to possess this planet long after we're gone and I wish him lots of luck.

TwinkleEyes​{n/a} - My point is switching and baiting is a cry for attention. Not an attractive quality to me. I was trying to help you understand this…

Tomorrowiscoming​(dom male) - Thank you. I think I understand now. I'm just perplexed by the fact that you responding to a blog post. That absolutely means nothing in this life wouldn't seem like a cry for attention in itself. ?!?!?!.
