Romanians have their own Valentine's Day - the celebration of universal love. History says that Valentine was a Bishop of ancient Rome and he was killed in 270 A.D. by beheading.
This martyr entered Western culture as the saint protector of love.
After the anti-communist revolution of 1989, once the exchange of information with the west was re-established, young people started celebrating St. Valentine's Day on 14th of February
What they forgot though is that on 24th of February Romanians have our special celebration of love called Dragobete

The ancient myth describes a hiatus in temporal continuity; the creation of a distinction between being and loss of being, between the active wholeness of achievement and the passive fragmentation of loss, between the "narrated", the "non-narrating" and the present narration. It describes in detail how the inversion of the space-time progression activates the negative undertaking of the unelaborated caesura.

Coyolxauhqui encouraged her four hundred sisters and brothers to kill their dishonored mother.

Huitzilopochtli sprang out of her mother as an adult fully armed and slew Coyolxauhqui and his other star sisters and brothers. Coatlicue regretted such violence.

The word shamrock comes from the gaelic word meaning seamrog, which simply means "terfoil" or three leaf clover", So which of the hundreds of varieties of threee leafed clovers is the orginal shamrock? Most authorities agree that the common white clover, Trifolium repens, is the true irish shamrock. A creeping perennial, the shamrock has slender stems and white or pinkish- white flowers. White clover was held in high esteem by the early Celts, who believed the plant has mystical powers and used it as a charm against evil spirits. According to Irish legend, the Druids in Ireland looked at the shamrock as a sacred plant because it's leaves formed a triad. Three was a mystical number in Celtic religion. A common motif in Celtic Artwork, the shamrock decorated medievial Irish tombs and copper coins. |

Number 3 is the symbol of the hawk and the falcon. We do use the Arabic writing when it comes to numbers, and the number 3 is the image of a hawk/falcon in flight.
It is also the number of the Egyptian God Heru (Horus), the Falcon-God, God of the Sky and of the Triple Wisdom, Hunter God and God of War. His hyeroglyphic sign is a falcon. There are many depictions of Him as a hawk/falcon-headed man. |
