St.Valentine Efsanesi
Sevgililer güne ve Aziz Valentin'in geçmişi tarihin gizemli sayfalarından biridir..Aziz Valentin kimdi ve nasıl bu günün gelenek haline gelmesi ile ilişkilendirildi?
Katolik Kilisesi en az üç değişik aziz tanıyor adları Valentine veya Valentinius olan..Hepsi de şehit olmuş.
Bir efsaneye göre Valentine 3. yüzyılda, Roma'da hizmet eden bir rahipti. İmparator 2. Claudius bekar erkeklerin, ailesi ve çocukları olan erkeklerden daha iyi asker olduklarına karar verip genç erkeklerin evlenmesini yasakladı..Valentine bu haksızlığı fark edip, Claudius'a karşı geldi ve gizlice genç sevgilelerin nikahlarını kıydı. Valentine'nin bu yaptıkları ortaya çıkınca Claudius ölüm fermanını verdi..Ve işte onun anısına sevgililer 14 Şubat'ı kutluyor..
Sevgilerimle...
The Legend of St. Valentine
The history of Valentine's Day--and the story of its patron saint--is shrouded in mystery. Who was Saint Valentine, and how did he become associated with this ancient rite?
The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. In his memory lovers celebrate 14 Februray..
