TERRACE — It’s always great fun to receive and to send a Valentine’s Day card to that special some- one on your list, however most people have no idea _-who St.. Valentine was or why greetings of love are sent on this day.. Businesses get by Daniele Berquist The legend indicates . that most likely St. Valen- tine was Valentinus, a priest who. was put to death by the Roman Em- peror Claudius, for being a Christian. The story goes on to tell that the church chose the date of Feb.. 14 as his feast day, in the hope that it - would take the place of a -, Roman Spring Coming tivities. for the Rick Hansen Week to be held in Terrace, Feb. 22 to 28. Rick Hangen | Week . ‘Festival called Lupercalia. The church strongly disap- ne een 4 2 proved of this celebration ‘tion, on approaching ac- since during this festivity, ‘young men and women dined and danced, St. Val- entine’s Day was accepted with its tradition then of a _card and gift giving. Also the singing of birds was soon connected with the love feast of St. Valen- tine. On Feb. 14, over 300 -years ago, in the year of 1613 an English poet by the name of John Donne wrote a poem to celebrate a royal wedding which took place on Valentine’ 5. Day. . It began like this: ‘‘Hail, Bishop Valentine, whose day this. is _All the air is thy-diocese, — And all the chirping - Ghoristers~ And other birds are thy parishioners...’ - During the reign. of © Queen. Elizabeth I, choos- ing a Valentine. for the op- posite sex was already quite popular. The choice was made in a game of drawing lots, It was the gentlemanly thing to do, to buy his Valentine sweet- heart a gift. Gloves, stock- ing and even jewellery were quite appropriate for the occasion. Terrace streets were temporarily transferred into boulevards by the action of snowplows alter a recent overnight snowfall. These 18 young figure Skaters are part of the Terrace Junior Precieion team.

Northern Wirtet Games Feb. 5 6, 7 and 8. the P diarist often grumbled . at how. much he had to _spend on his Valentine. In the year of 1661 he bought. a pair of embroidered gloves, with six pairs of plain ones, for his sweet-_ : heart, Martha Batten. He then’ noted in his diary ‘ that ‘his expenditure cost _ him all of 40 shillings. It was then assumed because. ‘of the cost involved the custom of “giving expen- sive ‘presents soon went out of fashion. In the 18th century, ‘hand-made cards were: . given or. sent instead, . ‘therefore reducing the cost oe greatly. The cards were often decorated with - printed flowers or hearts. enclosing: a’ verse for the loved one. Early Victorians too made their own Valentine’ cards which are collected in some museums, today. These cards are decorated: in all sorts of ingenious ways. Some with woven or’ paper lace, ribbons and. tinsel, satin, pressed flowers or ferns, feathers,” shells, etc... Later on when the new Penny Postal Service. began, cards and letters. could be delivered very cheaply by postmen, with- out anyone being able to guess who had sent them. Soon, shops were selling ready-made Valentines brightly colored, gilded, laced edge and boxed so people could send one or more just for the fun of it. Today, greetings can be sent through insertions in: the newspaper or a Valen- tine Day Telegram. An artist by the name of Rex Whistler designed a tele- gram form for the post of- fice and 49,000 copies were sent that’ year on Feb. 14. Today, approx-’ imately one million cards are sent by post. Which ever kind of card you choose to. send this Valentine you are taking part in a spring tradition, Here is a_ traditional thyme for St. Valentine's Day: “Please to give me a valentine, I'll be yourn if ye’ll be mine: Good morrow to you, .
