Here is a special valentine

With lots of love for you

And since you are very special

Here are hugs and kisses, too!

P 1:        It is a very lovely holiday of all lovers and sweethearts, which dates back to 14 th century. In Great Britain this holiday is celebrated as a youth festival. St. Valentine’s Day has become very popular, too.

On this day people express their sympathy, love to their parents, boy and girl-friends and all they send them little litters as called Valentines. You should remember that the name isn’t sighed on the Valentine, because the addresser must guess who has sent it. People usually give little presents to each other, if you want to please you sweetheart.

P 2:        St. Valentine’s Day is a religious holiday, which is celebrated in Great Britain, in many European countries and in U S A. St. Valentine’s Day has roots in several legends.

P3:        Some historians believe that the St. Valentine’s Day came from ancient Rome festival called “Lupercalis”. It was held to honour Faunas the god of animal life and patron of husbandry. The legend tells they choose their mates and begin build their nests on the 14 th of February

P4:        В античном Риме день 14 февраля приходился на середину веселого фестиваля, называемого луперкалиями. Устраивался этот праздник в честь Пана- бога природы и Юноны- покровительницы женщин и домашнего очага. Обычай требовал, чтобы во время луперкалий молодой человек вытянул наугад из ящика имя незамужней девушки, которая становилась затем его дамой сердца до конца фестиваля.

P5:        Когда римляне приняли христианство, они назвали этот праздник именем Святого Валентина. С годами легенды переплелись и дали, наконец, рождение прекрасной истории любви.

P6:        Other historians connect. St. Valentine’s Day with the Christian church. But, to tell the truth there is no historical reason why St. Valentine should be regarded. St. Valentine was a Christ and martyr, and he was considered to be an Umbrian bishop executed by the Romans.

P7:        One of the legends tells that this Christian martyr sent a note of friendship to his jailer’s blind daughter before he was put to death.

There was another St. Valentine. He lived in Rome. When the Roman Emperor Claudius 2 needed soldiers, he made a law against marring because he felt that marriage made men want to stay at home instead of fighting wars. But at that time there was a kindly priest named Valentine. He couldn’t agree with the emperor’s decision. When he saw that young couples were truly in love, he married them secretly

P8:        Вот одна из легенд. Римскому императору Клавдию II нужны были солдаты и, понимая, что женатые люди на войну не пойдут, издал указ о запрещении браков. Однако,  Валентин молодой священник с благородным сердцем, сочувствовал влюбленным и тайно венчал всех, кто приходил к нему. За это он был схвачен и приговорен к смертной казни.

P9:        Незадолго до смерти он влюбился в дочь тюремщика. Девушка была слепой, но Валентин совершил чудо любви - вернул ей зрение. Уходя на казнь, он оставил ей прощальное любовное послание, подписанное “Твой Валентин”. Это было 14 февраля 268 года.

P10:        There are many other legends about. St. Valentine’s Day started, and no one knows for sure whether any of them are true. There are a lot of traditions of celebrating St. Valentine’s Day in different countries.

In Germany, for example, girls tried a different ways of learning whom they would marry. They planted onions on St. Valentine’s Day. Each girl tagged onions in a corner heart the fire place. She thought she would marry the man whose onion sprouted first.

P 1:        There many symbols of love. Each symbol has its meaning

Heart is the most common romantic symbol. It means eternal love. Candies, cookies, cakes are made in heart shapes for Valentine parties.

Lace symbolizes a net for catching one heart. If you get a Valentine with a piece of lace you may understand that a person who sent it must be crazy about you .It means “You have caught my heart in your net “Another symbol of this holiday is ribbon. It means that a person is tied up. “You have tied me up, so you are my girl”.

In old days ladies gave ribbons to their men when they went to war.

P2:        Red roses are often used as the emblem of love, because a long time ago people believed that all emotions lived in their heart. The rose was the favourite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love.  Red is a colour that stands for strong feelings. That is why the red rose is a flower of love. .

A ring is a symbol of engagement. When men or women became engaged or marry they exchange rings. Valentine’s Day was a popular day for giving an engagement ring.

A love knot.

A love knot has no beginning and no end. It is a symbol of endless love.

If you get a coin it means that a person would be married someone wealthy.

One of the early symbols of love is Cupid; the Roman God of Love, who is represented as a young boy with a bow and arrow. He was a perfect archer and was said to shoot his arrows into the human hearts. The person who was wounded immediately fell in love.

Love birds and Dove

Love birds are parrots living in Africa and sit closely together in pairs. Doves were birds of Venus.
