A little on Valentine’s Day
We’re all familiar with the holiday, whether we like it or not. Heart candies that say ‘Be Mine’, Valentine cards handed out to loved ones, special time with that special someone. And for those among us without someone to cuddle up to, it’s a night on the couch, cursing ourselves for ending it with that last person, and sneering at those who are happy and in love. Let’s be honest, it’s true.
Well, if you’re one of those who feels more brokenhearted than celebratory on Valentine’s Day, just remember, it didn’t start out as a love holiday, but as a feast holiday! Yup, St. Valentine (and there were more than one apparently) wasn’t a love martyr, he was an actual martyr. Though there are different stories related to the different St. Valentines about what exactly they did to earn this martyrdom, there are a couple versions that fit the holiday. One includes St. Valentine curing a blind girl, and then receiving a written message from her before being executed. And another has to do with the guy performing wedding ceremonies for soldiers who were told they could not marry.
Originally started in 496AD, under Pope Gelasius I, the Feast of Valentine’s Day was to celebrate St. Valentine of Rome, who died in 269AD. It didn’t become a holiday about love until the 14th or 15th century when Medieval ideas of love with knights and nobility became popular. Somehow, it also tied into lovebirds which come out in the spring, and sit together in pairs tweeting their songs.
Over the years, these ideas of love have vastly taken over, with the entire holiday now about celebrating that special someone in your life, and literally no one talking about feasting. It has become commonplace in this day and age to celebrate the holiday by writing notes to loved ones; with hearts; candies – often with sayings of love written on them; and good old Cupid, the winged child-man who by folklore goes around hitting people with arrows to make them fall in love.
Valentine’s day is celebrated all over the world, but nowhere is it a public holiday. No one cares how in love you are; you still have to go work, sorry. Even with its basis as a Christian feast day, it’s only celebrated by certain sects these days, like Anglicans and Lutherans who still hold it as a feast day. It’s also celebrated by the Eastern Orthodox Church, but not on February 14! Instead, they celebrate it on July 6 AND July 30th in honor of two different St. Valentines.
Stoner Valentine’s Day Ideas
My last boyfriend got me a bong with red hearts painted on it for the first Valentine’s Day we were together. I didn’t see it coming, as we had not been together long, but I thought it was the coolest gift ever. It broke not too long after when it was accidentally knocked over, as bongs tend to do. And though it’s sad when any bong breaks, in this case it was fitting as he and I are no longer together. Even so, was a great gift at the time. For anyone looking for a way to surprise their loved one this holiday season, you can use that bong idea, or check out some other great stoner Valentine’s Day ideas that will make your partner even more glad they chose you.
