yoji: Whether we like it or not, d truth is bitter but it must b told. Vals day is a pagan festival. Ancient romans always used feb 15 to celebrate the goddess of love "lupercalia" and plenty of sex was involved. Now the catholic church wit its policy of tryin to christianise pagan festivals jus created vals day in feb 14 to make d locals feel comfortable with their pagan practices but now under d guise of christianity. Vals was first observed 496 AD meanin it even the early apostles who knew jesus face to face neva celebrate it as jesus neva commanded them to. Afterall its not even in d bible. Its sad dat pple are quick to castigate catholics for their pagan concepts but those same pple bcome catholic on feb 14 jus so dat they can fc.uk. Its jus sad.

Very sad dear. I wish we can really spread it to the world that Val does not make any meaning. It should be dissociated from Christianity.
