a holiday from work. no one gets a day off[1]. on valentine's day people usually send romantic cards to someone they love or want to be loved by. the cards are called "valentines". they are very colourful, often decorated with hearts, flowers or birds, and have humorous or sentimental verses printed inside. the basic message of the verse is always "be my valentine", "be my sweet heart" or "lover". a valentine is anonymous, or sometimes signed "guess who". the person receiving it has to guess who sent it. this can lead to interesting speculation. and that's half the fun of valentines. the affectionate message might be carried by a heart - shaped box of chocolate candies, or by a bouquet of flowers tied with red ribbon. but in whatever form, the message is the same - "will you be my valentine?" one of the symbols of st. valentine's day is the roman god of love, called cupid. cupid is often printed on the card, who is winged infant without wearing anything, poised to shoot his arrow into a heart. he would shoot an arrow of love into a person's heart to make the person fall in love[2] immedia-tely, maybe with the first person to come along. sometimes one arrow would go through[3] two hearts, holding them together. so on february 14th not only do we have picture of the christian st. valentine but we also have pictures of the non-christian cupid, the roman god of love. but it is from the christians that we get the stories about valen-tine's day that most people have come to believe[4]. one story is about a christian man whose name sounded something like "valentine." he lived around 250 a.d. at that time the roman emperor claudius refused to allow any roman soldiers to get married for any reason whatsoever. christian couples came to valentine to be married. so valentine would marry them in a christian way. he was discovered and put in prison by the emperor.one tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out the window of his prison. and the leaves were shaped like a heart. there are many favourite songs of valentine's day. here is one of them: let me call you sweetheart, i'm in love with you. let me hear you whisper, that you love me , too. keep the lovelight shining, in your eyes so true . let me call you sweetheart, i'm in love with you.
