Valentine’s day was caused and an aftermath : Lupercalian and St. Valentine’s Day Massacre

In my head, after several literature i’ve read yet, there are several prediction and version about history of valentine’s day. however, the most sexy i wanna write on my blog is the controversial one of valentine’s story. Wrote, that valentine’s day was celebrated and declared by Cristian (established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496.) for two reason. firstly, to remember and celebrate the merit of the martyr (a struggle man) -as we know together- santo valentinus -He is the one who were brave to against rome policy and spread the Cristian pedagogic- and  Second reason,  14 february established as a love and piece day by Pope Gelasius because in Christian they have no a ceremonial like lupercalian -belonging to Rome, celebrate on 13-15 February- as a celebration of the day of happiness, figured with a love and marriage ceremony, for Romanian.

in the other case, there was an accident -exactly a murderer- happened at 14 February 1929. This Case has a relationship certainly with St. Valentine -as a victim- so what the matters? 14 february is a love day, and why was there an accident?. In my extreme point, Valentine day appears and established based on jealousness and give the bad impact. it is normal, because if a matters is begun by bad matters, it will give aftermath. Up to you, it’s my opinion. if you have another contradiction opinion just keeping on your arm.

ok, may be i have some story about the lupercalian as a cause of valentine’s day and the murder accident that has happened and triggered by valentine’s day. enjoy guys!!!
