Слайд 2Every February, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved

ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. The history

of Valentine's Day and its patron saint is shrouded in mystery, but we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, is a mix of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.
Every February, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St.

Слайд 3Many historians, however, seem to trace Valentine’s Day to an

ancient Roman festival called Lupercalia. This was held on February

15 to honor Faunus, the god of animal life, hunting, herding, the patron of husbandry, and the guardian of the secret lore of nature. After Christianity spread, some think this pagan festival eventually became Valentine's Day.

Слайд 4Other experts connect Valentine's Day with two saints of the

early Christian church. According to one story, St. Valentine's was

a priest who would marry young couples against the orders of the Roman Emperor Claudius II, who believed that single young men made better soldiers. This story goes back to about A.D. 200.

Слайд 5Some experts state that St. Valentine was a Roman priest

and physician. He was put into prison by roman authorities

for his teaching and was beheaded on February 14 in the third century A.D. According to the legend he performed a miracle – he cured the blindness of his jailer’s daughter. Before the execution, he wrote her a letter signed “From Your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today.

Слайд 6There also was another St. Valentine who was a good

friend to children. Because he would not worship the gods

decreed by the Roman emperor, he was put in prison. While he was imprisoned, the children that he had befriended missed him and brought him loving notes. Many of the notes expressed the thought that "absence makes the heart grow fonder" . He was supposedly executed on February 14 in A.D. 270.

Слайд 12Valentine Traditions
Hundreds of years ago in England, many children dressed

up as adults on Valentine's Day. They went singing from

home to home. One verse they sang was:
Good morning to you, valentine; Curl your locks as I do mine - Two before and three behind. Good morning to you, valentine.
In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favourite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant "You unlock my heart!"
In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.

Слайд 13Valentine Traditions
In some countries, a young woman may receive a

gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps

the gift, it means she will marry him.
Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.
A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely!
Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry. As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.
Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have.
If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.
