Valentine's Day is named after St. Valentine, a Roman priest
who was martyred on February 14 A.D. 269 for refusing to give
up Christianity. Legend has it that he left a farewell note for the
jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it
"From Your Valentine".
In A.D. 496 Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to
honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date
for exchanging love messages and before long St. Valentine
was the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by
sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was
often a social gathering or a ball. In the United States, Miss
Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine
cards. Commercial valentines were introduced in the 1800's.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world's
tallest snowman was built on February 19, 1999, in Bethel,
Maine. It stood 113 feet, 7 inches and was made out of
200,000 cubic feet of snow. Its carrot nose was constructed
out of six feet of chicken wire; it had pine wreaths for eyes; six
tyres for a mouth; three tyres as buttons; two 10-foot pine
trees for arms; as well as a 20-foot fleece hat and a 120-foot
knitted scarf.
It took the town of Bethel 15 days to construct the snowman,
which they named Angus, King of the Mountain, after Angus
King, then governor of Maine. The town also held a raffle to
guess the date when the snowman would be completely
melted; 22 winners split the prize with a correct answer of
June 10, 1999.
So hurry up and start saving now!
