Preparing for Valentines Day (39/365)


As Valentines Day is coming, another day where i can flaunt redness all over, i decided to start a vday series.

Let's start with a bit about the history of valentines day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.

I didn't buy this cushion on purpose, in case you were wondering but it was a free gift giving by the mall if u spend up to a certain amount. =) it serves as a good start to my vday series.
