Hoax or Reality? (Continued front I'd?:? 1f * beloved on St Valentine'a Day owes its origin to the convention al mediev al belief, held generally in England and France, that it was at the start of the second fortnight of the second month that the birds began to mate. Later on. young {maple held festivals at this time of year in which tlie girls' names were placed in a pot and drawn by the boys Thus, the boys chose their companions for the festival. There is no historical link be tween Valentine and the mediev al festival celebrating the mating of birds, except that Valentine was executed during that general time of the year It also seems logical that the celebrating of the mating of birds would definitely Infirmary Anticipating Sr V.UentuteS Iki) IgK'tssa-.vc, To:.
