Be A Love Bird

Many stories about the origin of Valentine’sDay have come down through the centuries.There’s no definitive story, but most revolvearound the imprisonment of Valentinus (St.Valentine) for his disregard of Roman laws.

Many legends are also associated with Valentine’s Day. For example, because birds seemed to arriveand mate in some countries in mid-February, human couples came to be called “love birds.”

In 1667, the first recorded Valentine card was printed. Today, people will give their sweetheartscountless millions of cards and acres of heart-shaped boxes filled with candy. But why wait forValentine’s Day to share love with others? Remember Jesus’ words in John 13:34 (NRSV): “I give

you a new commandment, that you love one another.”
