I'd Like to Say: St. Valentine Is More Than Cards and Candy Hearts Illustration by Michael O'Neill Mcgrath, O.S.F.S. Introduce children you love to the real saints. You can't count on Valentine's Day to reveal the truth about a holy man. By Anne Bingham More Than Hearts and Flowers Meet the Friends of Jesus Surround Your Children With Saints Increasing Saint Literacy (Sidebar) F OR LAST VALENTINE'S DAY, a magazine I'll call Decadence Digest I pointed out that the February 14 feast actually commemorated two Valentines: the first a beloved Christian priest rounded up in Claudius the Goth's persecution (269 A.D.) and beheaded outside Rome; the other a bishop of Terni, about 60 miles from Rome, beheaded in another purge a few years later. (Partly because of this confusion, the Valentine commemorations were dropped from the official Church calendar of universally celebrated feasts about 25 years ago, although local churches can still choose to observe them.) Legends attribute affectionate letters from prison to both Valentines. A few days after I handed in the article, the editor called to tell me to shorten the introduction. "We're trying to get people in a romantic mood," she said, "so leave out most of the statistics (sic) about the history. We didn't think that talking about people being beheaded was very romantic."

Letters for Media Interviews Valentines Day 2 More releases: Adolescent Development Adultery Aging Alcoholism ... Youth Violence Date Dear Medical/Health Reporter: Valentine's Day is a time we set aside to pay tribute to love. Husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, and significant others celebrate their union with flowers, candy, gourmet dinners, or romantic getaways. But what if this year we focused on renewing our commitment to our partners and to our relationships? A romantic relationship is the hardest thing you'll ever do but it can also be the most rewarding. Marriage or commitment can bring with it heartaches, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings, as well as joys and triumphs. Being prepared to deal with the full gamut of emotions, trials, and challenges with honesty, caring, and support can make the difference between an ongoing long-term relationship and just another in a long list of short-lived ones. Healthy relationships progress through many phases. Understanding the many phases of love and accepting that there will be lulls in a relationship can help partners cope and move on to another plateau in their union and a greater meaning to their love for each other. I look forward to speaking with you.

NEWS The truth about Valentine Doubts focused on popular saint's existence don't diminish enthusiasm By Melanie B. Smith DAILY Religion Writer msmith@decaturdaily.com The second-graders in Jane Pintar's class at St. Ann School have clear ideas about St. Valentine's Day when it comes to what they like to get (chocolate, hands down) and what the giving is all about (being nice and showing love, they said). However, when asked this week about the saint behind the holiday, the children's thoughts were murkier. For instance, 13 of the 19 present on Wednesday thought St. Valentine was a woman. DAILY Photo by John Godbey Skyler Settles likes funny cards and sour candy for Valentine's Day, while Taylor Rovar prefers Milky Way bars; both said St. Valentine was a loving and giving person. Then the students mostly figured Valentine was honored as a saint because he helped the poor and friendless, sort of a St. Nicholas for February. "He'd give people something for Valentine's Day if someone else wouldn't," decided Donielle Eslick.

Tutoring Tips TUTOR TIPS: FEBRUARY 2001 Happy Valentine's Day! Teach your student: The Origin of Valentine's Day (if you know it). Is it celebrated in all countries? Why or why not? Encourage your student to write a letter/valentine to a friend or loved one. Practice rhyming by helping your student write a Valentine's poem. Teach homonyms to your student by looking at Valentines. For example, "Bee my Valentine" might have a picture of a bee. Many Valentines have silly rhymes. (There is a list of homonyms on page 45Appendix H of your tutor training manual). Have your student create as many new words as possible from the phrase "Happy Valentine's Day." Examples might include and, vent, dent, lad, pay, etc. Students and tutors! Remember, this site is for YOU! If you have any comments or ideas, please tell us!

Tradition/ritual This day is typically celebrated by giving valentines cards, candy, stuffed animals, and/or flowers to a loved one. Origin Cultural Comment Relationships are strongly governed by cultural expectation. The continuum of intimacy and independence in a relationship is often influenced by the cultural expectation of each party and by the cultural views of roles in the partnership. However, healthy relationships will have aspects of both these factors. Two pillars which are placed too closely together do not create a foundation strong enough to support weight. However, when two pillars stand together but also apart, they are able to bear weight that neither could withstandalone. When evaluating your own relationship or that of another, consider the cultural context of the relationship. This will allow you to better respect and understand the uniqueness of relationships and the complexities and mysteries of love.

Back to School Monthly Themes all underlined items are links ~ themes not underlined are not yet online I vary my themes a bit from year to year, and I don't usually teach them all every year. Because I often teach a multi-age K-1 class or loop from kindergarten to first grade then back again, I sometimes have the same children two years in a row. They enjoy revisiting familiar themes and stories, and there are always new activities, stories, and poems being added, which makes it extra fun. The students who stay with me for two years do the work on a much higher level than they did the year before, and get more from the experience. So for me, repeating the material has never been a problem. This is a general schedule of what I pick and choose from during the year. I usually work on two or more themes at the same time, and there's a lot of overlap in some areas. If the kids are REALLY interested in a particular area or theme, we spend more time on it and I eliminate or shorten something else. Many of the basic themes like colors and patterns are woven throughout the year, and many themes carry over from one month to the next. We also focus on one or two authors or story characters each month. If you know of any good resources I should add to my units, have a website or thematic unit you'd like me to link to, or have songs and poems to share, please send me a note at

Candy hearts are great for collages! (Give each child a couple for eating, but instruct them to use the others for gluing only. Don't forget to explain why.)

My two year old and I pour over this book every night noticing different things in the collage-like pages and having discussions about things like kindness and patience. It's a great springboard for introducing these ideas and inspiring to me to be more loving as I teach my daughter about love. I also appreciate that Halperin includes all kinds of people in her illustrations all different races, different cultures, people with disabilities, etc... Our life is a little richer thanks to this book. Beautiful book This is a lovely book with amazing depth. My three year old daughter finds something new in the illustrations on every reading, as do I. The book will grow with her as many of the illustrations make sense to a three year old in one way and an older child in another way. Beautiful!

96. Happy St. Valentine's Day! - Bringing The Faith Into Family Celebrations Many thanks to Monica Siefker for sharing the following poem with us! I have written this poem to teach children a little about St. Valentine’s day! http://www.catholichomeschooling.com/curr/hstvalentines.htm

Many thanks to Monica Siefker for sharing the following poem with us! "I have written this poem to teach children a little about St. Valentine and to ask him for intercessory prayers. We have it framed and hung up in our home below a big red heart." Happy St. Valentine’s Day! O the legends surrounding St. Valentine are many that is true One such story holds he was a priest with much ado He was arrested, called before the emperor to speak of his belief To know that he was proclaiming Christ did give him much relief But the Roman pagans were not impressed they had wished him to bow to their gods So they beat and beheaded poor Valentine for his refusal to part from the true God. A second Valentine was said to be an Umbrian bishop He, too, met with the same persecution from the Roman kingship He promised to cure the son of a pagan philosopher and he did it But the Roman man went back on his word and had Valentine beheaded. So on this feast let us celebrate that special kind of love That has led so many men to shed their blood for God above Let us ask God to grant to us a Love that is Holy and True That we may die to self and serve only Him in all we do And so our dear, St. Valentine, intercede for us we plead
