Hello, MANNAM friends!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today is February 14th which is
internationally known for St.Valentine Day.
People give chocolates or flowers to their
friends, family and especially to their lovers in a way of expressing their
love. How was your day, did you give chocolates to others?
Many of us celebrate St. Valentine’s Day with
exchanging chocolates to each other.
On the other hand, how much do we know about
the origin of Valentine day?
Its origin goes back to the third century in
the time of Roman Empire.
At that time, people couldn’t get marriage
without the permission of Emperor because Emperor Claudius II thought that
single men made better soldier than those with wife or family.
Saint Valentines wanted
to help many young lovers who couldn’t get marriage despite they loved each
other. Therefore he performed the marriages for young couples.
Unfortunately his action outraged Emperor and
was excused.
After his sacrifices, people commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death. The
custom is presenting chocolates came from the anecdote that Valentine often
gave chocolate gift to the daughter of jailor.
Now we have more understanding about
Valentine’s Day. As MANNAM members, I hope you remind that today is more than a
day of exchanging chocolate. Since Valentine’s Day began from the sacrifices and
caring heart of Valentine, why don’t we commemorate Valentine Day by MANNAM(meeting)
people and share your love? It can be your friends who you didn’t meet for a
while, or your grandparents who you didn’t contact for a while! Sometimes
meeting somebody makes your happier than receiving a gift!!
I hope
all of you to have a wonderful Valentine’s Day that shares love to someone near
you!
Happy Valentine Day!!
