  • The Mystery of St Valentine's Day 

    Did You Know??

    * No one really knows WHO St Valentine really was! Until 1969, the Catholic Church formally recognized eleven Valentine's Days.

    * No one really knows WHY Valentines day is celebrated on February 14. Although Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Termi are associated with 14 February, in 1969 Roman Catholics removed the feastday of Saint Valentine on 14 February from the General Roman Calendar, stating "Though the memorial of Saint Valentine is ancient, it is left to particular calendars, since, apart from his name, nothing is known of Saint Valentine except that he was buried on the Via Flaminia on 14 February."

    * No one really knows WHERE the first Valentines day was celebrated. Geoffrey Chaucer, the English poet, best known for "The Canterbury Tales" made the first recorded association of Valentine's Day with romantic love in 1382 in the poem Parlement of Foules:
    For this was on seynt Volantynys day
    Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese [choose] his make [mate].


    * No one really knows HOW Valentines day became related to the celebration of love. What is known is that feasts of fertility have long been celebrated in the early spring. In the United States, the first mass-produced valentines were produced in 1847 by Esther Howland. Her father had a book and stationery store. Ester received an English valentine and was inspired to market the idea.

    Valentine Poetry 

    A timeless poem of love to read to your valentine on valentines day

    How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
    I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
    My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
    For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
    I love thee to the level of everyday's
    Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
    I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
    I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
    I love thee with the passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
    I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
    With my lost saints I love thee with the breath,
    Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
    I shall but love thee better after death.

    Statistics of Luuuv! 

    Did you know:

  • 2.2 million marriages take place in the United States annually. This is more than 6,000 a day. That is ALOT of rice!

  • Same sex marriages are allowed in the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada, and South Africa. While Israel, Aruba, and the Netherlands Antilles do not allow same-sex marriages they recognize same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions. In the United States, Massachusetts and Iowa are the only states to recognize same-sex marriage under the name marriage. IOWA!?! who wudda thought?

  • John and Amelia Rocchio married in 1923 in Providence RI, had one of the longest marriage in the world. They were married over 82 years until Amelia died in 2005. And at least 82 Valentines Days!

  • About 90 percent of Americans marry at some point in their lives. This number is bound to grow thanks to Massachusetts and Iowa.

  • When you are younger, there are more single men: There are 119 single men (i.e., never married, widowed or divorced) who are in their 20s for every 100 single women of the same ages. This explains why 20 year old girls always seem to be having more fun than 20 year old guys.

  • When you are older there are more single gals: There are 34 single men (i.e., never married, widowed or divorced) age 65 or older for every 100 single women of the same ages. Guys if you like 65 year old women, you have something to look forward to.

  • In 1995 the median age of women in the United States at the time of their first marriage was 25. The median age of men was about 27.

  • Today, US men and women marry for the first time an average of five years later than people did in the 1950s. John and Amelia Rocchio are likely to hold onto their record for a while.

    US Births
  • The US birthrate is declining. The birth rate fell to 13.9 per 1,000 persons in 2002, down from 14.1 per 1,000 in 2001 and down a full 17 percent from the recent peak in 1990. And the trend in Massachusetts and Iowa?

  • More than one-third of all births were to unmarried women. Inspite of the fact that unmarried men outnumber unmarried women at this age!

  • About 11,000 babies are born everyday in the USA. That is ALOT of pampers!
