February

We are now officially entering the second month of the new year. Today is February 2nd and it is Wednesday. I am rooting for a much better day to come for this new month. Praying and hoping that all will fall into proper places. Many of us believe that this month is the love month and many were expecting to fall in love within this period. But to Roman history, February is also the month for purification.

Let us see why this is the month for purification. Derived from the Latin word, the Roman month Februarius was named after the Latin term februum, which means "purification", via the purification ritual, Februa held on February 15 (full moon) in the old lunar Roman calendar. (Thanks to Wikipedia ) so this is why they called it the month of purification.

But many of us celebrate this month as love month because of Saint Valentine which is always held on the 14th of the month. According to the story, he was the patron saint of love a roman priest in his time who perform marriage rites to the people in the time of Emperor Claudius it was this emperor who ordered death to saint valentine because of disobeying his order of denying Christ. He was executed cutting his head and was honored by the Catholic church for his suffering. (Thanks Google for the valuable Information).

Growing up believing in February as a love month makes no difference as knowing it as a purification month. We may love one another as always taught to us by our faith. And we also purify ourselves when we are in front of our Almighty. Whatever you believe hope it was for the good of many. Love month or not let us always love one another guys. Let us always be grateful in everything we have. Let us show how much we love our loved ones.

Thank you my dearest for being with me. By the way to day is 2/2/2022. We may see this date now it just happens once in our life. Have faith that all will fall in their respective places in due time. Pray for it is our mighty weapon always. Bless you all and stay safe.

I do not really celebrate the valentines day. I think it is just a marketing scheme for companies to sell products or offer services. We can make everyday a valentines day, thought, hehe.
