Valentine Day, which ought to be a day set aside to commemorate the life and death of a Catholic saint; Valentine.
Before I proceed with the gist of the day, I may need to give us a background understanding of the origin of the "Day" as I have come to understand it.
Many mythologies have been advanced as the origin of the celebration, however one has stood out as the most commonly replicated and told story: Valentine was a priest who performed the sacrament of Holy matrimony to the roman soldiers against sovereign dictates.
As a result, he was imprisoned. While in prison, legend has it that he healed the daughter of one of his jailers; Asterius, and possibly fell in love with her that at the time of his execution, he wrote a letter to the damsel and concluded with the closure: "Your Valentine".Before I proceed with the gist of the day, I may need to give us a background understanding of the origin of the "Day" as I have come to understand it.

Thus, the statement: "would you be my valentine" or "I am your valentine" which is widely used by youths during the valentine celebration, emanated from that letter.

Valentine has thus been synonymous with love, especially among youths.

Many ladies have their hymen broken on this day, while many boys lose their chastit+.
