Each celebration
represents a previous event or event that may have occurred in "history"
several years, months or days ago. Valentine's Day on February 14 has a similar
relationship with her. It is understood that it originated as a Christian
religious festival honoring the saint. This is another reason to refer to St.
Valentine's Day or St. Valentine's Day. Its origins date back to ancient Rome
in 270 AD. This was because of the rebellion and sacrifice of a Catholic priest
of the same name that was celebrated this day. St. Valentin supported lovers or
couples in love by marrying them against the wishes of Emperor Claudius.
Romantic
day and fertility
Some other associations are associated with
Valentine's Dayspring season. Spring season begins in mid-February in most
parts of the world. So, this is the time when birds (in the European
subcontinent where this festival originated) are coming out and looking for
their colleagues. This is why this day was chosen to refer to the mating season
of birds and fertility. Another association of Valentine's Day is some
fertility festivals in the early European era. The ancient Athenians (people of
Greek origin) celebrated in February as the month of Gamelion to celebrate the
marriage of the Greek gods - Zeus and Hera, the ancient Romans (people who
lived in the Roman Empire, Rome is the current capital of Italy today)
Lupercalia feast to honor the Roman gods of fertility - Lupercus and Faunus.
The current context of this festival is a
day that honors love, commitment and promises for a life together. This is
understood since we as a person many people after those things that are
usually not present in the world around us. This is the main reason for this madness
regarding love and romance. Although there is a rising trend of
"celebrating love in all its forms," this festival essentially
retains its primary connection to romantic love. It is still more known to
belong to romance and sensation than any other kind of bond.
Views on
Valentine's Day celebrations
There are conflicting views on
celebrating Valentine's Day. Some people still recognize it as a Christian
festival. Thus, it does not even recognize its existence as an event to be
marked in a calendar year. People who criticize Valentine's Day have two
reasons to support their approach. One is the distinct religious tendencies of
this celebration. The other is that some people simply find this celebration
ridiculous, trivial and impractical. Then there are those who do not care about
the origins of this festival and link it to rediscover love and romance. This
group of lovers of Valentine's Day is popular today.
Valentine's day also shifted from a quiet
and humble celebration to a high business relationship. There is a difference
that takes on this aspect among the world population. Some people celebrate
this day with sadness and sorrow while others keep it in a special
relationship. This approach to Valentine's Day depends on two factors: one
cultural and family influences, the other a life factor. There are a lifetime
and a stage for these celebrations, but then some people do not lose their
innocent approach to love and life.
