Prompt #30
St. Valentine was a Priest, martyred in 269 at Rome and was buried on the Flaminian Way. He is the Patron Saint of affianced couples, bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travellers, young people. He is represented in pictures with birds and roses.
Does learning this change your thoughts about Valentine's Day?

Um...this is hard one. Manasa doesn't know much about the surface,but we both love two different boys,so I guess we'll both do this one.

I'll even put hers in bold italics so people can tell the difference.
I've always been a romantic-Sometimes to the point where you could call me a pollyanna. It never mattered-Someday my prince would come and I always knew that. It hurt when Casey and Lupe got noticed instead of me,but three wedding books and ten years later,"My Wesley found me. No one can take me away from him and he would have gladly gone to the Land of the Dead,it it was what I wished! :D
I'm surprised St. Valentine was the saint of Epilepsy,bees,travelers and the plague,though. I thought St. Christopher was the patron saint of travelers,not Saint Valentine. Plus,why would the saint who represents love get assigned the PLAGUE?

I mean,if I had followed mommy and crossed over Bart would have gone with me,but I really doubt most couples love each other enough to die together.

Plus,wtf does Epilepsy have to do with love? Having seizures isn't romantic,it's scary.
>_<
I think it's kind of weird,but it doesn't change my view of Valentine's Day. In fact,knowing birds and roses are how he's represented makes me smile. When Bart proposed,Cerys turned into a bird and dropped roses petals from her beak so that we were surrounded in flowers. Now we have something to remember every Valentine's Day. :)
As far as I'm concerned,the Beatles knew their shit-"Love Is All You Need". Casey,Vicky,Bart,Ken,Manasa are all I'll ever need and so is my daughter. I may not have met her yet,but she was made from my DNA,so I love her already.
Manasa,Casey and I miss Jorge,Lupe and mama,too-They're far away and so is Anil,but they're were all we needed for the longest time. It hurt to leave them back in New York,but we loved them enough to let them go and keep them from getting hurt. They wouldn't have fit in at Starchild or Agartha and they would have been humans who got lucky. :(...
Saints have many duties,therefore the idea of healing the sick,offering blessings and protect those who worship well is hardly a surprise. I myself have cured those who were poisoned and brought Lakinder back for Chand when he conceded and built my first temple on Earth. This "Valentine" must have been quite a devoted servant for Jmmanuel if he's recieved his own holiday.

When I came to the surface,I was tired,the sun hurt my eyes and nothing made sense. I couldn't speak English and only Jorge and Casey were willing to speak to me. It took time to adjust and I allowed my sister to be dominant,but one day,Jorge insisted I come and play with him. When I came to meet him,he had a bouquet of roses he'd made from tissue paper in school. Luke and I had always been in love,but people don't have a day set aside to express affection. He was my constant companion in life and death and that had always been enough.
Those flowers were the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Such a simple gesture,yet so much emotion behind them. He even made me a card and swore he'd be my constant companion,as Luke had once been. For the first time since mother died,I didn't feel alone. It was almost as if Luke was by my side-I was still in Shamballa,mother was letting me wear her crown and HE wasn't there.
Luke always wanted this,but I never liked him. Everyone thought they were perfect,but my sister didn't. She promised she'd make it better if only I slept. Even if no one else knew,Ritika did and she knew he was a BAD MAN. >:(
I didn't like talking about mother at first,but that night,I told him about Gabriel. Even if Luke thought they were perfect,Jorge didn't. He listened,he made it better and promised I'd never be alone ever again. He was only a human,but he loved and protected me far better than any man I've ever met. He gave up his entire life to protect me and my sister-All he asked in return was to love us both,even if it was from afar. Were I able to go back in time,I would have chosen better. I've only every truly loved one man,but now I don't know who I love....
Risa...I'm tired and I want to sleep-Everyone's changed and gotten older,Luke is his father's son and everyone is dead except father. You promised you'd make it better...let me sleep a little longer.
