Lol @ "isles of Walmart" xd
Ahem, I understand not liking the day, but like Rini says, you can celebrate different types of love. When you were a kid, I bet you made a paper heart for your mom. Nothing wrong with doing that now. Although, she might appreciate a box of chocolates more now. xd
Anyway, the original Valentinus was sainted because he fought against a tyrannical caesar who forbade Roman soldiers to get married (He thought single guys were better soldiers.). This guy married the soldiers in secret, was caught, and executed. His skull is supposedly in a Roman church somewhere with a ring of flowers on it. xp So technically, Valentine's Day should be a celebration of the right to marry, which should make it a target for gay rights, IMO.
But if you want to get really picky...(feel free to roll your eyes here)...Valentine's Day itself was created by Christians to overshadow a pagan holiday, like so many other Christian holidays were. Bet you didn't know Val Day was a Christian holiday! surprised The original holiday was called Lupercalia, and it was meant to purify and ensure good health and fertility at the beginning of spring. It has some connection to the Greek god Pan. It was celebrated on the 15th, tho, the anniversary of the founding of his temple. The Christian holiday was established officially to honor those named Saint Valentine "whose names are justly reverenced among men, but whose acts are known only to God." (Had to look that quote up. xp ) After the first guy, there were a few others; Valentine was a popular name.
Every year on Val Day, I dress my avi as the ghost of St. Valentine. xd You'll see. It's my own tribute to the man that the people forgot and the holiday that doesn't mean what it should.
