Valentine’s Day is one of the sweetest holidays, which always happens on February 14th. The story on how this holiday came about was, Valentine was a priest who had worked in Rome during the rule of Emperor Claudius the 2nd. The emperor made a rule up that states, soldiers could not get married, and as he thought this made them weaker. Valentine did not like it so he performed secret weddings for couples. Later on, they had caught him and sentenced him to death. Before the time came he had died, he wrote a letter to an unknown women he himself had strong feelings for. The letter was signed “from your Valentine.” February 14th came and it has been said, that’s the day he died. After he died, the church made him saint for upholding the divine right of marriage and made him the patron saint of lovers and made February 14th St. Valentine’s Day.
Some people believe that Valentine’s Day was invented by the chocolate to make more money and others believe it is another holiday to show even more love to the one’s you love or care about. So I asked junior; Mya Brewer a few questions like, “What’s the sweetest gesture or gift that anybody has done for you on Valentine’s?” Her mom had surprised her with a necklace and a ring, plus one of her friends took her out to the movies for the night. “What would you like to do this Valentine’s Day?” She replied with, she would love to go to Great Wolf Lodge. “What does Valentine’s Day mean to you?” It is the time when you spend with the one’s that you like and love. “If you could have any gift or anything done for you on Valentine’s Day, what would it be?” She said, a whole lot of chocolates and as well as a nice little shopping spree.
This day happens once a year, but is special to many people around the world. If one thinks about it, Valentine’s Day should be celebrated every day because of the spending time with the ones that’s means a lot to you and just doing good deeds
