February 14 is celebrated around the world as Valentine's Day. Candy, flowers and greetings are exchanged between the loved ones,all in the name of saint Valentine.The history of Valentine's Day and its story of the patron saint is shrouded in mystery.We do know that the month Februrary is a month of romance,and Saint Valentine as we all know him today,contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different Saints named Valentine or Valintinus,all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When emperor Claudius 2 decided that single men made better soldiers then those with wives and families,he outlawed marriages for young men. Valentine , realizing the injustice of the decree,defied Claudius and arranged secret marriages among young lovers. When Valentine's action was discovered he was sentenced to death by Claudius. According to one legend , the imprisoned Valentine actually send first valentine greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl possibly his jailor's daughter who visited him during his confinement. Before his death it is alleged that he wrote a letter signed " From Your Valentine", an expression that is still in use today.
Though the truth behind the Valentine legend is murky, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and most importantly an Romantic figure. Anyways all I know is that due to him we got to celebrate Love. Though many of us believe that Love don't need a special day to celebrate, but really its a pleasant sight when lovers walk around the city holding hands, heart shape balloons, crowded card galleries and so on.
One thing we must admit that whether its valentine's day or a Birthday every celebration is incomplete without some brilliant delicacies. So make this day more romantic with the magic of chocolate and cream with every sip of this coffee.
