St. Valentine’s Day by Annie Elliot St. Valentine’s Day is a comedy in one act for female characters only, written by Annie Eliot Trumbull. It’s a lovely play that probes the themes of love and romance through its all-female cast. The play is set around the titular holiday and offers a humorous look at the social customs of the time. Today, Valentine’s Day is perhaps the most secular holiday named for a Catholic saint. What started as a commemoration of a third-century religious martyr is now a commercialized tradition of romance and candy. But even digging back into the holiday’s past, it’s unclear exactly which St. Valentine was the cause for celebration in the first place. There were up to three saints named Why Do We Celebrate St. Valentine’s Day As The Day Of Love? Chaucer (an English medieval poet) wrote a poem called the Parliament Of Fowls in the 14th century that is about how birds choose their mates on February 14. You can read the whole poem here, but here are a few snippets: For this was on Saint Valentine’s day, To be convinced by a valentine, and not a hint of a heart or an arrow or even a glimpse of colored paper. (A trifel hysterically.) I should think at least he might have had it lined with colored paper. St. Valentine's Day has bewitched us all -- but I am I -- and Dick Morrison is just Dick Morrison in spite of his poetry. And yet -- and yet -- St. Valentine demonstrated this love when he laid down his life for his friends. This is the kind of love that Valentine’s Day is really about. For Christians, Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate the love of God. That love was shown to us in the life and death of Our Lord and the life and death of martyrs like St. Valentine. For Valentine's Day everyone is making valentines to send to Michiko in Japan. Eveline decorates her card with gold glitter glue. Pablo draws a picture of a happy fish. Jessica writes a poem. The kids in Mrs. Madoff's class remember all the things they liked to do with their friend Michiko, even though she's thousands of miles away now. St. Valentine, a name that is synonymous with love and romance across the globe, lived at a time when the Roman Empire was at its zenith. He is often best remembered for the act of marrying couples in secret defiance of the Roman Emperor's bans. However, the truth about St. Valentine is far more complex, woven from a mixture of historical fragments, religious tradition, and folklore.
