Najljepše ljubavne pjesme za Valentinovo

Čestitka koju je Johnny Cash napisao svojoj supruzi June Carter proglašeno je najljepšim ljubavnim pismom svih vremena.

Pismo je napisano davne 1994. godine, a legendarni glazbenik dubokog glasa, “čovjek u crnom”, supruzi je tom čestitkom izrazio svoje osjećaje za 65. rođendan i tako osvojio brojne glasače koji su u anketi britanskog osiguravajućeg društva Beagle Street uoči Valentinova birali najljepše ljubavno pismo.

“Sretan rođendan, princezo. Starimo i navikavamo se jedno na drugo. Isto razmišljamo. Čitamo jedno drugom misli. Znamo što želimo bez ijednog postavljenog pitanja. Ponekad si malo idemo na živce. Ponekad možda i jedno drugo uzimamo zdravo za gotovo.

Ali ponekad, kao danas, razmišljam o svemu i postaje mi jasno koliko sam sretan što sam život proveo s najboljom ženom koju sam upoznao. Još uvijek me fasciniraš i inspiriraš. Tvoj me utjecaj čini boljim. Ti si predmet mojih želja i glavni razlog zbog kojeg postojim. Jako te volim.

Sretan rođendan, princezo.

John”.

Najpoznatija teorija o nastanku praznika Dana svetog Valentina tj. Valentinova, potječe iz Rima, još dok je kršćanstvo bilo potpuno nova i mlada religija. Tadašnji car Klaudije Gotski naredio je da se njegovi vojnici ne smiju ženiti ili zaručivati, jer je držao da se vojnici (kao oženjeni ili zaručeni muškarci) neće srčano boriti u njegovim ratovima, već će radije gledati da sačuvaju život, kako bi ostali sa svojim obiteljima. Svi svećenici odlučili su poštovati ovu carevu odluku, pa nisu više htjeli vršiti sam obred vjenčanja. Međutim, svećenik po imenu Valentin oglušio se na carevu odluku i počeo je potajno održavati ceremonije vjenčanja svih mladih parova koji su to željeli, sve dok ga vlasti nisu ulovile i bacile u tamnicu. 14. veljače (večer uoči rimskog proljetnog blagdana Luperkalija) Valentinu su odrubili glavu. Nedugo nakon smrti narod ga je proglasio svecem jer je za život činio dobra djela i bio omiljen, a kada se u Rimu učvrstilo kršćanstvo, svećenstvo je odlučilo spojiti blagdan Luperkalija i smrt Svetog Valentina u jedan. Odredili su da će se novi praznik slaviti 14. veljače, na dan Valentinove smrti, a ime su mu dali u spomen na ovog sveca. Naravno da postoje i druge teorije o porijeklu ovog praznika, pa se tako mogu pronaći teze da potječe od nekih poganskih obreda, dok druge pak govore kako se u srednjovjekovnim vremenima vjerovalo da se ptice počinju pariti 14. veljače, pa otuda običaj slanja “Valentinovskih” čestitki. Ipak, najvjerojatnije je da Valentinovo postoji u spomen na svećenika Valentina.

Najstariju čestitku za Valentinovo napisao je francuski vojvoda Charles Orleanski. Namjenio ju je svojoj supruzi dok je bio u zatočeništvu u Engleskoj. Simbol je Valentinova i Kupid, starorimski bog ljubavi. Često se prikazuje kako drži luk i strijelu jer se vjeruje da se onaj koga on pogodi svojom čarobnom strelicom odmah zaljubi.

Svake se godine za Valentinovo pošalje oko bilijun čestitaka, a nešto više pošalje se jedino za Božić. Valentinovo je, uz Majčin dan, dan i kada se kupuje najviše cvijeća. Svake godine djevojke i žene širom svijeta na Valentinovo zajedno dobiju oko 50 milijuna ruža.

U Veronu, rodni grad Romea i Julije, svake godine pristigne tisuće ljubavnih pisama za Juliju. U Americi, zanimljivo, čak 15 posto čestitaka za Valentinovo djevojke pošalju same sebi.

Drage Hrvatice i Hrvati,  sretno nam, zabavno i ljubavno bilo za tzv. Dan zaljubljenih.
