However, you observe it, Valentine's Day is a lovely time for the expression of love. And there's no time like the present. Confused about the holiday for lovers? If so, you are not alone. . .for no one knows who really started Valentine’s Day. Historical sources have suggested that this day in midFebruary was named after a Roman martyr in the Third century . . .thus, Saint Valentine's Day became a great popular feast day and a holiday for fun and fancy. Some historians have even tried to pin its origin on our feathered friends, and they note, from this fact tradition was established for a special day for lovers. But everyone knows that love is not strictly for the birds! Others say that the Romans started the charming custom of gift-giving on this day. The Romans also used posies to honor the goddess of love at many times during the year, and undoubtedly when they celebrated their version of Valentines Day as well. Then too. in the days when chivalry was still alive and open flirtation was a part of daily life, flowers and poems were the only gifts exchanged by lovers. As this Valentine's Day ap- | proaches, it's nice to know that tongue-tied Romeos have an easier way to declare their love to shy Juliets. Happy Valentine s Day. —MS G — Sunday and Monday were named by the Romana after the Sun and Moon. The AngloSaxons used names of their own gods that corresponded to Roman gods Mars. Mercury. Jupiter.
