I am very glad that I do not belong to any religion. Because from the point of view of the Orthodox, for example, (the most numerous in Russia), this holiday is Valentine's Day, it is not. On the other hand, Valentine encouraged the pagan holiday Luperkali. In which men and women stripped naked indulged in rampant sex with elements of sado maso.
Why did he become a saint? During the reign of the Roman emperor Claudius, future soldiers were forbidden to marry, allegedly so they would fight for their emperor with great zeal. Probably the emperor was somewhat gaga. Did he really know that her husband and animal husbandry flourished in his army?
Valentine did not like it and he secretly married a couple. Having learned about this, the authorities put him in jail and sentenced him to death. There is a legend that there Valentine fell in love with the beautiful daughter of warden Julia and wrote her a fiery declaration of love, calling him: "Valentine."
He was executed on February 14th. That is today. Therefore, I consider this holiday “Valentine's Day”, and not Valentine's Day, so that there is no religious coloring. After all, we instilled him advertising, not the church. Advertising from TV screens, newspapers and magazines.))))
Is there an alternative to this holiday? Of course! This is July 8, an Orthodox holiday - the day of memory of the holy princes of Peter and Fevronia of Murom - patrons of family happiness, love and loyalty. Since 2008, Russia has been celebrating: "The Day of Family, Love and Loyalty." I like this wording more. However, the holiday is not as common as today.
I repeat, I am indifferent to religion, and all the more so that the media imposes this day with all their hearts with all their hearts, therefore I wish everyone:
HAPPINESS AND LOVE!
"Since 2008, they have been celebrating in Russia:" The Day of Family, Love and Loyalty. " I like this wording better. ” And I like this wording more. Allegiance in our time is not enough ... And the day of all lovers, let it be too. After all, love is always positive and happiness, even if in half with tears.

And do not mind the pearl of my heart. I simply wanted to emphasize from the harmfulness of my soul, how everything non-Russian was enough ... although non-Russian himself, but I live in Russia)))))

From what? The story is worthy to be written for the site ST with porn erotic patches))))
According to legend, Peter chopped up a flying dragon who had fallen into love with his brother's wife to commit adultery, turning into a handsome handsome young man. When he learned that only a special sword, such as Hatori Honsho from “Kill Bill”, could destroy the snake from the cattle, Petruha rushed into the Orthodox church, where he hired this sword.
One fine fine day, Peter has waylaid a snake coming out of the room of his mistress and chopped him into many pieces. Forgetting that when cutting with such swords, the blood is whipping like from a fire engine. The result - he was sprinkled on it like a dirty water on the day of Ivanushka Kupala.
His body contracted leprosy. But in those blessed times It was treated. He was prompted about Fevronia. But the girl was not stupid and said she would cure him if she took her in marriage. It is clear that a simple peasant woman will not refuse to stand up noblewomen. She gave him some ointment, he was cured after a two week course.
Having recovered, Peter said:
- I am the master of the word. I want to give, I want to take back! Do not you love me Fevronyushka not blue blood you. I will not take you to wife. Don't be so sweet. Try and farewell.
- Then I will send a leprosy to you unmindful, more than ever! - the maiden is angry
Petruha had to go to her to bow to her a second time and, after healing, take her as his wife. And where will you get?
And they lived happily ever after and died in one day. They put both of them in one coffin.
Here is an example of a real family!
And what about Valentine? He did not even fuck his Julia even once. An example to follow, damn it. Another thing Fevronyushka is a real Russian woman, said: “All the same, you will be mine!” (C), - She said and did! I love these (@Shakespeare)

How did they live like a cat with a dog and why didn’t they write to a monastery? And about the fact that they were recognized as saints because, according to the legend, they were put in different coffins and found in one thing why didn’t they write?

In my sources of inspiration about this was not written. Probably I read a shortened version for true believers or, on the contrary, non-believers, like myself))))
But the common thread of my unprecedented work is that Peter realized, and Valentine is virtual))))

Valentine has a grave in Peter and Fevronia not.
