Pero conocen la historia de porque se llama San Valentín?. No?, bueno aquí se las cuento.
Todo comienza en el año 270 A.C. en Roma. Había un Sacerdote llamado San Valentín, en ese tiempo en emperador era Claudio II, emperador que prohibió las celebraciones amorosas y matrimonios para las personas jóvenes, Claudio hacia esto, ya que pensaba que si eliminaba cualquier tipo de compromiso en las parejas jóvenes, estos serian mejores soldados para el imperio Romano.
El sacerdote San Valentín le parecía eso muy injusto, entonces San Valentín decidió hacer secretamente y de forma clandestina, celebrar casamientos en secreto, rompiendo las reglas impuestas por Claudio II, gracias a las acciones que hizo Valentín lo convirtió en el "Patrón De Los Enamorados".
Cuando se descubrió los actos que estaba cometiendo Valentín, el emperador lo encarcelo, y para ponerlo a prueba como Santo, un oficial le pidió que le devolviera la vista a su hija que nació ciega, Valentín acepto y logro el milagro sanando a la niña ciega. Finalmente acabaría con la vida de San Valentín ejecutándolo el 14 de febrero del año 270.
But do you know the story of why it's called Valentine's Day? No? well, here I tell you.
It all begins in the year 270 B.C. in Rome. There was a priest named St. Valentine, at that time the emperor was Claudius II, emperor who banned love celebrations and marriages for young people, Claudius did this because he thought that if he eliminated any kind of commitment in young couples, they would be better soldiers for the Roman Empire.
The priest Saint Valentine thought this was very unfair, so Saint Valentine decided to secretly and clandestinely celebrate marriages in secret, breaking the rules imposed by Claudius II, thanks to the actions that Valentine did, he became the "Patron Saint of Lovers".
When it was discovered the acts that Valentin was committing, the emperor imprisoned him, and to test him as a Saint, an official asked him to restore sight to his daughter who was born blind, Valentin accepted and achieved the miracle healing the blind girl. Finally he would finish with the life of Saint Valentine executing him on February 14 of the year 270.
Gracias al papa Gelasio I en el año 494 proclamo oficialmente el 14 de febrero como el día de San Valentín. Se añadió en el calendario litúrgico tradicional, y ha sido celebrado por la iglesia católica en los siguientes 15 siglos.
Actualmente San Valentín es uno de los Santos más conocidos y aclamados en el mundo y sin duda una de las fechas que más comercializa en el mundo.
