Valentine's Day – A Remembrance Of Love
One legend is the story of a priest called Valentine of Rome. He was a martyred in AD 269. The emperor of Rome, Claudius II, declared a rule under which he forbid men from getting married, as he felt that single men make better soldiers. Priest Valentine who did not agree with the emperor, performed secret marriages of young lovers. When Claudius II, came to know about it, he killed Priest Valentine. 14th Feb is thus celebrated in the memory of the Priest Valentine.
According to another legend, Priest Valentine himself fell in love with a Jailor's daughter. Before he was assassinated by the emperor, it is believed that he wrote a love letter and signed it “From Your Valentine". Thus, the question, “Will you be my Valentine?" originated.
Google Doodle on Valentine's Day reminds us to look into these interesting legends and how since the AD till 2011, this special day has remained on of the most special day for hearts in love. On this day every lover relives those times when a person gave away his life for the sake of love.
With time the seriousness and commitment of the term love has become blur and by 14th Feb 2011, people have come up with a question as to “Why one day to celebrate love?" Many on looking at the Google Doodle on Valentine's Day, will ask this question once again. There has never been a reason to celebrate anything. A celebration is a created reason to get the society together and relive a remembrance. The reason of celebrating according to me apart from a remembrance is to dedicate time to your lover. Time, which these days is a rare phenomenon. At a time with 24X7 work culture, many relationships are breaking only because couple don't spend time with each other. In such a case, a special day, gives reason for the lovers to gift each other time and with the remembrance of the legend, live every moment together and redefine their love which might have gone through a lot of trouble.
The Google Doodle on Valentine's Day also is a prove of how this day has gained importance across the world and internet has become a major contributor to the cause.
