Valentine’s Day 14 th February It’s that certain time of year again where girls go all mushy, boys and girls spend all their pocket money and shop profits rise. All because we declare our undying love for each other. In fact in Britain alone we spend £503 million on cards, flowers chocolates and other gifts for Valentine’s Day.

Who was Valentine? Valentine was a Catholic priest who lived in Ancient Rome. Claudius the 2 nd was the Emperor of the Roman Empire.He liked going to war against other empires so he needed a really big army. Trouble was, all the young, strong men were too busy falling in love and getting married rather than wanting to go and fight for the Roman Army! That’s when Claudius realised that he had to do some thing about all this ‘love’ business!

Claudius, being the ruler of the country, could do anything he wanted, so he decided to ban people from getting married so that the young men would want to fight in the army.

St Valentine was a Catholic priest in Rome. He enjoyed working in his community and was a kind, loving, friendly person who loved to marry young couples and give them God’s blessing. He was horrified when Claudius banned people from marrying and so he carried out secret marriage Ceremonies for lots of couples who wished to marry.

Unfortunately, despite being very sneaky, St. Valentine was caught and sent to prison. Claudius the Emperor ordered for him to be beheaded and he was killed on February 14 th. This is why we celebrate St. Valentine’s day – to remember how loving and caring he was…and how important love is in all of our lives.

What is love?

This is a question that has puzzled poets and philosophers for many centuries. But all agree that love goes far beyond giving each other presents once a year. According to philosophers and poets Love is: Wanting to be there for each other through the good times and growing stronger together through the bad; Putting the other person before you, because you’d rather see them happy; Feeling safe in each others company like nothing can hurt or harm you when you are together.

This passage is taken from the New Testament, Corinthians 13

Love is long suffering, love is kind, it is not jealous, love does not boast, it is not inflated.

It is not discourteous, it is not selfish, it is not irritable, it does not enumerate the evil. It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth

How can we show our love for each other? By being kind to each other.

How can we show our love for each other? Giving everlasting love.

How can we show our love for each other? By spreading and sharing our happiness.

How can we show our love for each other? By giving cards and hugs.

How can we show our love for each other? By showing forgiveness

How can we show our love for each other? By showing our true feelings to them.

What is happening when we get back....? French week
