St. Valentine’s Day

The Kiss – Gustav Klimt

 

Now, February 14th is the day of chocolates and the day of love around the world. Whatever the hidden story behind the origins is, St. Valentine Day became a time when people show feelings of love that had been hidden or affection to make stronger.

 

Chocolate

 

People in the world fall in love with chocolate. Even if it is a commercial tactic to sell chocolate, the day will be a time when people do not talk about only love between man and woman but tell only love. On the day, people deliver unrequited love with beautifully packed chocolate packages and love-expressing cards, love to old lovers who deliver strong and sweet words, and love to their fathers and mothers and the world turns romantic.

In fact, the origin of St. Valentine’s Day is sad. Valentine, even kindergarteners know, is not an exciting holiday, but a person’s name. In the third century, Saint Valentine was executed on charge of having performed weddings for young soldiers in Rome who were forbidden to marry. The memorial of the death of the holy St. Valentine is the origin of the present Valentine’s Day.

 

Regardless of its origin, St. Valentine’s death was a sacrifice. Love is not just about loving the other person. Like the words in the first chapter of Lee’s novel <The Novel Alexandria>, love means courage. Also, love means sacrifice. In the movie “Constantine,” John Constantine seems to be dealing with the devil, but his sacrifice opens the way to heaven.

Love shines when it meet forgiveness, patience, and sacrifice. Not all love is love. Love shines in the process of deepening relationships by accepting and trying to understand each other’s differences. Not only the love of man and woman, but true love is always needed to all classes, ages and families. “Maybe it is our imperfections which make us so perfect for one another.” This sentence in a novel “Emma” by Jane Austen seems to be the true love St. Valentine wanted.
