Today in this country and abroad people celebrate
St. Valentines Day. Do
you
know
where
this
festival
came
from? In England this
festival is has been celebrated since the 15th century. The old legend tells us
about a young man named Valentine who must be executed by the order of the
Roman Emperor. It was in 269 AD. He fell in love with the daughter of his
executioner. The girl was very beautiful but blind… A sad story, isn’t it?
Later Valentine was said to be the saint and this festival became one of the
loveliest. The heart is the symbol of this day – the bouquets are
made in the form of heart, in the form of heart the cakes are baked. In this
day people send small paper hearts – the Valentines cards which always begin
with " I love you…”.
