Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day and its patron saint is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
I’ve something to tell you before I start the story. I’m a Buddist and I know nothing about St. Valentine. So I search from the internet and I’ll tell you the whole story that I think it real. Start form who is St. Valentine? From the information Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single man made better soldier than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men his crop of potential solider. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to dead. From this story I realize that St.Valentine cherish the love so much. As he maybe a priest but he knows the power of love. I didn’t think that he were a bad guy because he tried to protect love from someone who didn’t want it. As you know 14 February is the day that we must reminded of St.Valentine but the teenagers in Thai do the opposite thing. They buy a expensive gift and flower to exchange with their boyfriend/girlfriend. That’s make the government realize that they need to warning the girl and boy from sex because an orphan child in Thailand have very much. Teenager can’t responsible for a new life that they make so they left the child at hospital or in garbage. I think this year the government must carefully about the teenagers and their moral. If I were a government I’ll send advertising on television all channel to warn the teenager and using superstar in Thailand to tell our children about good moral. The last we should publicize ST.Valentine biography and make people realize the true meaning of Valentine’s Day.
