This is YOUR holiday! For those who are in love with VeronikaLove and have found the most beautiful Slavic Lady! If you haven't sent a gift to her - you still have time to choose something from the Specially Chosen Valentine's Gifts on our site!
It is believed that Valentine's Day has existed for more than 16 centuries, but the holidays of Love have been known from even earlier times - from the time of ancient pagan cultures. For example, the Romans in mid-February celebrated a festival of eroticism called Lupercalia, in honor of the goddess of love Juno Februata.
The holiday also has a specific "culprit" - the Christian priest Valentine. This story dates back to around 269 when the Roman Empire was ruled by Emperor Claudius II. The warring Roman army experienced an acute shortage of soldiers for military campaigns, and the commander was convinced that the main enemy of his "Napoleonic" plans was marriage, for a married legionnaire thought much less about the glory of the empire than about how to feed his family. And, in order to preserve the military spirit in his soldiers, the emperor issued a decree forbidding legionnaires to marry.
But the soldiers did not become less in love from this. And to their happiness, a man was found who, not fearing the imperial anger, began to secretly marry the legionnaires with their beloved. It was a priest named Valentine from the Roman city of Terni. Apparently, he was a real romantic, since his favorite pastimes were to reconcile the quarreling, help write love letters and give flowers to the objects of their passion at the request of the legionnaires.
Of course, as soon as the emperor found out about this, he decided to stop his "criminal activities". Valentine was sentenced to death. The tragedy of the situation was also that Valentine himself was in love with the jailer's daughter. The day before the execution, the priest wrote a farewell letter to the girl, where he told about his love, and signed it "Your Valentine". It was read after he was executed.
Nowadays this is a remarkable and romantic holiday! Everyone tries to make their significant other happier and show their appreciation and feelings with gifts and beautiful gestures. Or maybe even propose marriage! You can go to Online Chat with your lady and write her all your sweetest words and congratulations! Be happy with your love and may it prosper and last forever!
