St. Valentine Post Card

In one month it will be...Valentine's Day! Love it, hate it. You still can buy a card to send someone you love. Oh, come on, all ideas are nice if you're celebrating love, anykind of love. Because if you think about it love is never too much. Am I wrong? Go and love your girlfriend, your wife, your partner, your mother, your brother, your cousin, your friends, your pets, Nature. It will be good on you and them!Yeah, I'm feeling very positive today!!

In order to help you pick a card, I did a search over Zazzle marketplace for great Valentine's Cards. I found a lot of great cards. I think I told you before - I'm a sucker for snail mail and cards. Unfortuantely all my boyfriends seemed strangely  not aware of Valentine's Day, so I never got any romantic mail in that day, as far as I can remember!! 

In my search I found this cute vector illustration of St. Valentine you can see above. It was kind of a surprise because most of all I get lots of hearts, cupids, cute little animals, doves, puppies, well, you know. So that illustration gave me the idea to write a short post about St. Valentine's life. 

In the III century AD, the Roman Emperor Claudius II had decreed null and void and prohibited marriages, because without family men would be easier to recruit for the fronts of war. Valentinus violates the unjust imperial decree performing marriages in secret. Discovering its audacity, he is arrested, tortured and sentenced to death for violating the law. In prison he gets messages of encouragement and flowers from people who believed in love. The daughter of his jailer, blind from birth, visited him frequently during his captivity, bringing him food. Valentine describes the world to her and speaks of God. One day a light illuminates the jail. She bursts into tears because a miracle had happened - she regained vision! With the miracle her entire family converted to Christianity. On the eve of death, Valentinus wrote a last letter to the girl, whom he had fallen in love, asking her not to part from God and signed "From your Valentine".

From this legend, and over time, the tradition of exchanging postcards between lovers settled in customs. In the Middle Ages in France and England, Valentine has become one of the most important saints. On time of the martyr's death, 14 February, young people sewed the sleeves a paper heart with the name of their partner. They would keep it for one week. Hence the expression to wear one's heart on the sleeve that was synonymous that the person was in love. In the fifteenth century, Charles, the young Duke of Orleans, was among the first to use the concept of Valentine's cards. Imprisoned in the Tower of London after the battle of Agincourt in 1415, he sent on that date poems and love notes to his wife, who was in France. Throughout the seventeenth century it was customary for lovers to write poems on small cards to sent to people they were in love with. From 1840, in Victorian England, Valentines messages began to appear on cards decorated with ribbons and tissue paper. Phrases and poems used then still remain in vogue. Even today there are many passionate people exchanging cards and flowers or making a romantic dinner on the anniversary of the death of the martyr. The end!
