VALENTINE'S DAY

It is thought that "Valentine's day" is a modern invention, commercial, but that's not the case.

Since the 4th century A.C. Roman pagans paid tribute with a unique annual ritual, the 

god Lupercus. 

The names of the women and men who worshipped this god were placed in an urn and properly mixed.

Then a child randomly chose some couples who, for a whole year, lived in intimacy so that the fertility rite was concluded. The following year would then be started again with other couples.

The Christian bishops decided to put an end to this custom.

The emperor Claudius II believed that men without families were better soldiers, and forbade marriage to the young.

But the priest Valentine, did not agree and continued to marry young lovers in secrecy.

Valentine was killed and then martyred on February 14, replacing the rite to Lupercus god, and thus becoming the patron saint of lovers.

But we are in the Dominican Republic and here Valentine's Day is not only  Valentine's Day, but also the celebration of friendship ...

On February 14th we will exchange gifts, we'll go out to dinner and then to the disco. The important thing is to wear something red!

VALENTINE'S DAY

Valentine'S Day, since the Middle Ages, is celebrated almost all over the world, as the day of love and friendship.
With Christianity, Valentines Day, replaced the Roman Lupercalia, annual rites, dedicated to fertility.
Initially, the Ancient Romans celebrated the god Lupercus, with a pagan ritual, in which were drawn the names of men and women, in order to form pairs that have lived together for a year, so that the fertility rite was concluded.
Also, it is roughly, mid-February that nature awakens and the birds begin to mate.
Even today, on the feast of St. Valentine, is used to send the "valentine", love letters, usually in the shape of heart.
Even here in the Dominican Republic, Valentine's Day is a celebration deeply felt, especially by young people, that this day should strictly wear something red!
