Why we celebrate Valentine’s

“Love is the most beautiful of miracles” and why not also say that it is “shared madness.”

Greeting and consecrating a celebration of love on February 14, it is a kind of tribute to a true great of love story.

In the third century of our era, in the middle of the fall of the Roman Empire, a young Christian, named Valentino, joined in marriage couples in love.

He did it hidden, under the strict ritual of the Church, considered as a forbidden sect.

Valentín was born in Rome on February 14 and dedicated his life to spreading the insipient Christianity.

Discovered, he was sentenced to death by Emperor Claudio Segundo.

In an era, in which the attraction of the human couple was for many a sin, this apostle of love considered it the most beautiful of miracles and that if the passion was authentic, love was always legitimate.

He achieved the curious alchemy of transforming instinct into a poem.

In short, this holiday makes us think that God invented love, to compensate for death.

And just as wars have only defeated love only has victors.

And a final aphorism

“Only the crows love madly.”
