History of Valentine's Day

History of Valentine's Day

            
 

Ever Wonder Who St. Valentine Was? Or why so many people get all mushy around the second week of February? Here's a brief synopsis:

St. Valentine was actually two people (that weren't romantically involved) who were martyred on the same day (c. 270). Feasts commemorating them were celebrated on February 14. One was a priest and physician who died in Rome during the persecution of Christians by Claudius II Grothicus. The other was the bishop at Terni, Italy who was also martyred in Rome. Both have been buried at different places along the Flaminian Way.

So why do people send "valentines" or "love-tokens" to one another on that day? The origin of that tradition is not thought to have any connection with the saint's day. Rather it comes from an early European belief that the second week of February was when birds began to mate. The idea suggests that lovers should probably exchange notes and gifts on February 14 in conjunction with what nature practiced.

Nowadays, Valentine's Day is observed as a special day for love and romance. This topic is one of the oldest, and probably most-discussed, issues in history! As Christians, we know that love originates from God and that God is love (1 John 4:16).

In 269 A.D., the Roman Empire honored Juno, the goddess of women and marriage,on February 14th. The next day the festival of Lupercalia began. At this festival all the girls' names would be written on paper and placed into jars. Each guy would draw a girl's name. Then, they would be a couple for the duration of the festival. Sometimes the pair lasted an entire year, in which they were likely to fall in love and be married.

During this time Claudius II was the emperor of Rome. He liked war, but had a hard time building an army. Claudius thought it was because men didn't want to leave their wives and families. So, he banned all marriages. But Saint Valentine, a Roman Catholic priest, continued to perform marriages in secret. His good deeds came to an end when he was caught and sentenced to die. While in jail, he fell in love with the jailer's daughter. And on February 14, 270 A.D., the day of his death, he sent her a note signed, "From, your Valentine." (In 469 A.D., February 14th was set aside to honor St. Valentine.)

Valentine's Day isn't just about flowers, chocolates and sappy cards. It isn't about red hearts and white teddy bears. And it's definitely not about Cupid. Valentine's Day is about love. A love that cannot be commercialized. That cannot be bought. A love that seems elusive, yet most of us continue to search for it. We want to experience love because it is a powerful, pure emotion. And we're told in the Bible that "Love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13:8).

The cross of Calvary is proof that the love of God will never fail. The splintered wood. The nails. The crown of thorns. The painful death of Jesus. Evidence of the greatest sacrifice, so we would know the meaning of love.

This Valentine's Day, show love. Give a card to your enemy. Be nice to the guy who cuts in the lunch line. Smile at the girl who never smiles. And most importantly, love the way Christ loves us.

Tendulkar's 35 centuries in pictures

Tendulkar's 35 centuries in pictures

 

 

At 125 for 5 against England at Old Trafford, India had their backs to the wall, before Sachin Tendulkar saved the day with 119, maiden century.

 

 

Tendulkar's 111 was the only score above 25 as India folded for 227 in reply to South Africa's 292 in the first innings at Johannesburg in 1992.

Facing a first-innings deficit of 99, India collapsed spectacularly with only Tendulkar defying England with 122, the only score above 20.

Picking up from his 155 at Chennai, Tendulkar continued to torment Australia by hammering 177 from just 207 balls. However, a second-innings implosion gave Australia victory in the dead rubber at Bangalore.

Battling a painful back injury, Tendulkar played an extremely controlled innings. Chasing 271, Tendulkar was dismissed on 136 after which followed a procession of wickets that gave Pakistan victory by a mere 12 runs.

In a high scoring game with both teams scoring more than 475 in the first innings, Tendulkar got stuck in and made 124 in the second as the Test meandered to a draw.

 

After receiving some contentious decisions in the first Test, Tendulkar replied in style with a fighting 116 at Melbourne. He also made 52 in the second innings as India only managed 195 while needing 376 for victory.

Tendulkar's second double-century (201 not out) helped India amass 609 in the first innings. After asking Zimbabwe to follow on, India was blunted by a defiant Andy Flower who also hit a double century to save the game.

Tendulkar's 126 propelled India to a vital first-innings lead against Australia. Chasing 155 to win, India hobbled home with two wickets to spare.

Sachin Tendulkar (155) and Virender Sehwag, with a century on debut, rescued India from dire straits at 68 for 4 to finish on 379. A poor second innings meant that South Africa needed just 54 to win and did so with nine wickets in hand.

 

Tendulkar's 103 formed the backbone of India's reply to England's 407 at Ahmedabad. The match was drawn with India at 198 for 3, needing 374 for victory.

 

India posted a mammoth 628 with Tendulkar's 193 being the highest score. England were Knocked over for 273 and 309 to give India victory by an innings and 46 runs.

 

Faced with a huge first-innings deficit, Tendulkar struck 176 and was involved in a 214-run partnership with VVS Laxman for the fifth wicket that drew the game.

Tendulkar's first double-century overseas came at Sydney and took India to a massive 705 in the first innings as India pressed for a series victory against Australia.

Tendulkar acknowledges the cheers after his double at Sydney. He followed it with a quick 60 in the second innings to set Australia a daunting target.

 

Tendulkar's 194 not out at Multan was overshadowed by Virender Sehwag who became the first Indian to score a triple century, and also by Dravid's controversial declaration with Sachin on 194. India defeated Pakistan by an innings and 52 runs.

 

Tendulkar notched up his fourth double-century and equalled Sunil Gavaskar on 34 centuries during India's win by an innings against Bangladesh at Dhaka.

 

The original little master and his successor: Gavaskar and Tendulkar during the tour of South Africa in 1992.

 

Tendulkar fought hard to reach his 35th century and break the record against Sri Lanka at Delhi
