valentine's day!

By Alvin Soo
so...today was valentine's day! i've just found out the true story on how valentine's day came about..

apparently, it was a story of this christian called St. Valentine and was persecuted by the Roman Emperor, Claudius the 3rd (wat kind of farny name is dat?). The emperor was quite impressed how St. Valentine talked to ppl so he thought he would be useful to his empire. He tried to converting St Valentine to Roman paganism (which worships a lot of false, man-made idols n stuff) but Valentine stood strong in faith. he was then sent to jail fer his faith

in jail, before he was executed (4 wat oso i dunno..haiyeh) he miraculously healed his jailer's blind daughter which was believed to be his lover. at the end of the note read "from your Valentine."

so i guess we celebrate it cause of his tragic love relationship wif da girl...and of his steadfast love for The Lord. :)
jesus once said god was love, so today was a day of celebrating Him and the love he implanted in all of us! heh heh
keep spreading the love ppl
