THIS WEEKS QUOTE & MORE
The History of Valentine's Day
While the history of Valentine's Day is sometimes debated, it clearly links back to a Catholic saint named St. Valentine. The problem is there are actually three St. Valentine's -- one a priest, one a bishop, and little is known about the third. All were martyrs. In 469 A.D., Pope Gelasius declared Feb. 14 a day to honor St. Valentine, one of these three men. One legend says that a Roman emperor banned soldiers from marrying in the third century, but St. Valentine took issue with this. He became an advocate for soldiers and was executed as a result of his outspokenness. Another legend says St. Valentine was executed for his beliefs in Christianity and just before he died, he left a farewell note for a loved one and signed it "From Your Valentine." A conventional and widely accepted belief about the holiday itself is that Valentine's Day grew out of a Middle Ages tradition of celebrating Feb. 14 as the day "the birds began to pair." History.com notes that February has long been associated with being a month of love, and Feb. 15 was celebrated in ancient times as a fertility festival.

Valentine's Day Quotes

"I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon." ~Unknown

"Valentine’s Day is when a lot of married men are reminded what a poor shot Cupid really is.” ~Unknown

"I wanted to make it really special on Valentine's Day, so I tied my boyfriend up. And for three solid hours I watched whatever I wanted on TV.” ~Tracy Smith

"If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?" ~Unknown

"One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry." ~Oscar Wilde

"Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love." ~Albert Einstein

"Today is Valentine's Day. Or, as men like to call it, Extortion day." ~Jay Leno

“Sales ad at a store: ‘You are my one and only’ Valentine's cards, now on sale: 4 for $5.” ~Unknown

"Never go to bed mad -- stay up and fight." ~Phyllis Diller

"The Eskimos have 52 words for snow because it is so special to them; there ought to be as many for love." ~Margaret Atwood

"No matter how love sick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along." ~Joyce Brothers

"Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart." ~Unknown

"If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?" ~Lily Tomlin

"Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife." ~Groucho Marx
