The Universal Valentine Day Message

February 14 or Valentine’s Day traces its origin back to ancient Rome. No one really knows who the real Saint was; though records indicate that he was a pious priest known to have helped lovers unite. It is widely believed that in those days the Roman emperor had forbidden soldiers to marry. He believed that celibate young men were pure and made powerful soldiers.  Saint Valentine would help soldiers get married on the clandestine. Ever since the feast has had a special significance for lovers!

Theorists over the years feel that the message of Saint Valentine has been distorted. Love is an emotion that not only rules the heart of young lovers. Love can be felt between friends, siblings, mother and child, and so on. The actual significance of what Saint Valentine set out to do was to promote the significance of respecting feelings. People are gradually beginning to understand the deeper meaning. In America for example schools and educational institutions organize special Valentine Day carnivals for children. Teens and kids are encouraged to exchange handmade gifts and wishes. In fact some of these Valentine week carnivals are great places for you to get innovative Valentine Day card ideas.
