valentine.

this valentine, i am with nobody
it doesn't matter for me, coz love doesn't care about dates
and for someone who cares,
congrats.. you found the point!!

etymologycally, valentine comes from name of one of several martyred saints in ancient rome. and why does valentine symbolizes the romantic love?

It all begins from the Legend Aurea of Jacobus. The very brief vita of St Valentine has him refusing to deny Christ. Before his head was cut off, this Valentine restored sight and hearing to the daughter of his jailer. Jacobus makes a play with the etymology of "Valentine", "as containing valor". Then, it was discovered about hearts and last notes signed "from your Valentine", as is sometimes suggested in modern works of sentimental piety. Legend of Valentine appears in the late ages in England and France, when the day of 14 February became associated with romantic love. 14 February becomes Valentine's Day.

for your info guys, thanks.
