Valentines-the after math

Valentines Day

NB: this article was originally created by Nonny for Valentines Day but has now been edited as an after-the-effect thought. Enjoy the read.

We’ve been going out for years, and every year is the same, you seldom treat me special, every day is a normal day and yet on Valentines day I am your queen, you tell me you love me a thousand times and you buy me expensive presents attached with a beautiful card and make me feel like the special lady that I am!

I appreciate that, but I ask why on Valentines and not on any other day?
Why do you wait for a day that the meaning of has been truly forgotten. The real meaning of Valentines is about two Saints who were men and they were imprisoned and killed for being Christians in the 3rd Century A.D. One saint wrote a letter to his daughter and signed it: “Your Valentine” Both these saints died on February 14, which in Roman times is a night for a certain festival. That’s the true meaning of Valentines. But nowadays people exchange gifts and cards to commemorate this day.

This day should not only have meaning to those in relationships, but it should be a day where everyone celebrates love in general, whether in family, friends or lovers.

Now I believe that life if too short to wait for one day in the calendar to show your love and appreciation of the people whom are special in your life. It’s the little things in life that have more meaning than any material thing we will ever have.

Advertsiers are exploiting the fact that we do not know what it really means to show love and therefore we feel that they best way to show our love is through material things and yet that is not the true meaning of love. The true meaning of love is in our daily actions and we should live love and not let the world tell us when to love at our best.

I do not celebrate Valentines because I have told myself that I will not wait for a calendar date to show my parents, family and friends how much I love them. I have also realised that when you do things in an unexpected manner they tend to have more meaning than things that are done because of a certain command. So treat your loved one’s in special way when they least expect it and the value of your love for them will have more meaning than when you do it with the rest of the world.

To my extended family here at TVSA I hope you all had a happy Valentines Day and to also remind you all that the origin of Valentines is about the love of a father and the a daughter and overall it is about the love of God. So whether this day finds you single or not remember that Valentines is not just about lovers but about all forms of relationships that have more meaning than that of lovers.

Now the questions I pose to you all today are:
• Did you know the story of the two saints and the original meaning of Valentines Day?
• Do you celebrate Valentines or not?
• How do you celebrate it? and How did you celebrate it this time around?
• What do you do differently on this day that you don’t do on any other day?
• Do you believe that it has more meaning to lovers that anyone else?
• What kinds of gifts do you receive and what do they mean to you?

Wow...!! Congratulations on your first article this is awesome. I have been educated today about this day i have never celebrated in my life...ok actually the hype everyone gives it I just dont get it or should I say feel it?

• Did you know the story of the two saints and the original meaning of Valentines Day?
Havent heard...I only heard in passing about someone called Saint Valentine.
• Do you celebrate Valentines or not?
Havent celebrated it in my life and dont get the hype people make out of it because that hype can happen everyday should one want it to.
• How do you celebrate it? and How did you celebrate it this time around?
I think space, good food and wine would do it....followed by passionate sessions although this can still happen everyday or weekly should one decide to.
• Do you believe that it has more meaning to lovers that anyone else?
People turn to think so but to me its the same.
• What kinds of gifts do you receive and what do they mean to you?
I am not a big fan or receiver of gifts so anything nice and small would mean a lot. I havent celebrated it anyway but did get gifts from someone who cares this year... not on the day but days before and it meant so much to me.

Did you know the story of the two saints and the original meaning of Valentines Day? i did not know about the stoy of the 2 saints,

But i have my black version story about the the day. The day is commemorated in honour of an Italian stallion (I am talking about a man) that was a Casanova/udlabantwana or their extreme version of uHlomla Dandala in the whole of Rome and he died on 14th Feb and it is believed that his funeral was attended by mostly females that were devastated by the death of this super lover. Emngcwabeni wakhe onke lawo makhosikazi ayenxibe red/white. Igama lakhe yayinguValentino.

Do you celebrate Valentines or not? No i dont think its relevant to me and i feell its too commercialised and overrated. And i dont understand why it should only be on one day that we remember to shower our loved ones with gifts and affection.

Akabongwe ophezulu, udumo lumufanele.... Finally Nonnz and its a nice read...uyishayile mngani.

Did you know the story of the two saints and the original meaning of Valentines Day? I had no clue what happened and it never occured to me ukuthi i must question the origins of the day.

• Do you celebrate Valentines or not? Nope i dont ok maybe i shud say i have never and i really dont relate...exactly what you said Nonnz...why wait for a particular day to show appreciation - umbedo lowo.

• How do you celebrate it? Having said the above - I have never!

How did you celebrate it this time around? Okay this time around i was on the road travelling the world in 60 seconds...It was business as usually ok no it was business unusaul (Mr President must be proud of me where ever he is)

• What do you do differently on this day that you don’t do on any other day? Nothing

• Do you believe that it has more meaning to lovers that anyone else? Who am i to judge, i honestly think dat, whoever want to celebrate it must go mad and do it.

• What kinds of gifts do you receive and what do they mean to you? Have never received a gift...once got a card from a secrete admire back in high school...I destroyed it thou, i seriously believed dat i had a stalker.

@Nonny, im sorry i'll put an article within your article. but that is the knowledge i have about the origin of valentines day and theirfore i do not celebrate it.

In the days of the Roman Empire, the month of February was the last and shortest month of the year. February originally had 30 days, but when Julius Caesar named the month of July after himself, he decided to make that month longer and shortened February to 29 days while making July a month of 31 days. Later when Octavius Caesar, also known as Augustus, came to power, he named the month of August after himself, and not be outdone he also subtracted a day from February and gave the month of August 31 days. To this very day it remains that way. The ancient Romans believed that every month had a spirit that gained in strength and reached its peak or apex of power in the middle or ides of the month.

This was usually the 15th day, and it was a day when witches and augurs, or soothsayers worked their magic. An augur was a person filled with a spirit of divination, and from the word augur we get the word "inaugurate", which means to "take omens." Since February had been robbed by Caesars and had only 28 days, the ides of February became the 14th day of that month. Since the Ides of a month was celebrated on the preceding eve, the month of February was unique, because it was the 13th day that became the eve of the Ides that month, and it became a very important pagan holiday in the Empire of Rome. The sacred day of February 14th was called "Lupercalia" or "day of the wolf." This was a day that was sacred to the sexual frenzy of the goddess Juno. This day also honored the Roman gods, Lupercus and Faunus, as well as the legendary twin brothers, who supposedly founded Rome, Remus and Romulus. These two are said to have been suckled by wolves in a cave on Palatine Hill in Rome. The cave was called Lupercal and was the center of the celebrating on the eve of Lupercalia or February 14th. On this day, Lupercalia, which was later named Valentine's Day, the Luperci or priests of Lupercus dressed in goatskins for a bloody ceremony.

The priests of Lupercus, the wolf god, would sacrifice goats and a dog and then smear themselves with blood. These priests, made red with sacrificial blood, would run around Palatine Hill in a wild frenzy while carving a goatskin thong called a "februa." Women would sit all around the hill, as the bloody priests would strike them with the goatskin thongs to make them fertile. The young women would then gather in the city and their names were put in boxes. These "love notes" were called "billets." The men of Rome would draw a billet, and the woman whose name was on it became his sexual lust partner with whom he would fornicate until the next Lupercalia or February 14th.

Thus, February 14th became a day of unbridled sexual lust. The color "red" was sacred to that day because of the blood and the "heart shape" that is popular to this day. The heart-shape was not a representation of the human heart, which looks nothing like it. This shape represents the human female matrix or opening to the chamber of sacred copulation.

When the Gnostic Catholic Church began to get a foothold in Rome around the 3rd century A.D., they became known as Valentinians. The Catholic Valentinians retained the sexual license of the festival in what they called "angels in a nuptial chamber", which was also called the "sacrament of copulation." This was said to be an reenactment of the marriage of "Sophia and the Redeemer." As the participants of the February 14th ritual began their sexual sacrament, presided over and watched by the priests known as Valentinians, the following literary was spoken: "Let the seed of light descend into thy bridal chamber, receive the bridegroom... open thine arms to e

I just think there are many stories going around about the exact origins of valentines. Everyday I learn a new version.

None the less, I don't celebrate it. To me one should be able to celebrate their loved one on any day the so wish. Which is why I don't believe in a whole lot of other days set apart to celebrate people like mothers/father etc days. With the way its being commercialised, I bet in a few years I would have lost the whole meaning of christmas and easter as well.

The last time i got a card i was doing grade 12 then after i neva got anything. So Nonny luv i dont celebrate valentines day bcoz ndibanesimnyama. The only thing i do is(like yesterday), i play music Very loud & sing with my bad voice & go to sleep peacefully

@Nonny and cmother

Now how does the fat baby with a bow and arrow fit into the valentines picture?.

Always thought Valentines originated from a couples forbidden love and the man was hanged on the day.........

Only good thing was that for the first time ever in my life I had a man on Valentines day but still dont celebrate the day and had to act like I did.

• Did you know the story of the two saints and the original meaning of Valentines Day?

To be quite honest, i didn't!!

• Do you celebrate Valentines or not?

NOT ANYMORE-used to way back before i met a man that didn't blv in it.

• What do you do differently on this day that you don’t do on any other day?

Even though i don't celebrate it, i expect NOT TO HAVE TO COOK SUPPER. in fact i expect to be taken out for dinner cause i guess the hype has gotten to me.

• Do you believe that it has more meaning to lovers than anyone else?

Yeah, it's all of them making a fuss out of it mos.

Nice one Nons and congratulations on losing your "virginity"!! mwaah!

My Vday suced and since last year I have decided no to celebrate the darn day

As for the origins of this day there are way too many dif versions.

I knew the one where apparently the girl who receives the signed card is the daugheter of the guard in his cell.But either way I dont care

Nonny
19 Feb 2008 00:42

@ Zazacious, I'm so sorry to hear that ur Vday sucked, nami I knew about the girl who received a signed card from her father saying from ur Valentine. But ke this blog has shown me that there are more "stories" about the actual origin of Vday!!!
