Valentine

Tomorrow is Valentine day, 14th February. In the recent years this day become very important for Iranian youth and most of them know the date but not the reason of calling this day as the lovers one.
As far as I know, once upon a time there was a cruel king ruling Rome years ago. He only intends to fight other countries and never bring peace for his men. But the soldiers were tired of fighting for no reason and started complaining about it. King thought the reason might be their love for their wives, fiancées and girl friends so he ratified a rule which forbids any kind of marriage in that land. There was a churchman, Sir Valentine, who makes marriages in hidden places. But when the king found that, he killed him on 14th February. Because of the effort of Sir Valentines for nearing the loves together this day is called the lover's day.
But I still have doubt if this day is as famous in other countries as it is in Iran.
Anyway, if you are living in Iran don't forget to give a gift to your beloved ones :D( Dear Mehrdad ,listen please.)
