Origins of Valentines Day

Origins of Valentines Day

The truth about valentines day In spite of what you have been told by everyone, the truth is that Valentine's Day originated hundreds of years ago, in Phoenix and to top it all, in Unit 9!

It is a well known fact that Phoenix men, especially the Mariemuthoos, continually mistreat and disrespect their wives. One fine day, it happened to be the 14th day of February, one brave Phoenix women, having had enough "torture" from her husband, finally chose to rebel by beating him up with a Velan (rolling pin).

Yes....the same Velan which she used daily, to make chapattis for him....only this time, instead of the dough, it was the husband who was flattened. This was a momentous occasion for all Phoenix women and a revolt soon spread like wild fire, with thousands of housewives beating up their husbands with the Velan.

There was an outburst of moaning "chapatti-ed" husbands all over Unit 2 and Unit 3. The Phoenix men-folk quickly learnt their lesson and started to behave more respectfully with their Phoenix women.

Thereafter, on 14th February every year, the womenfolk of Phoenix would ceremoniously beat up their husbands, to commemorate that eventful day. The wives having the satisfaction of beating up their husbands with the Velan and the men having the supreme joy of submitting to the will of the women they loved.

Soon, the Phoenix men realized that in order to avoid this ordeal they needed to present gifts to their wives....they brought flowers and sweetmeats. Hence the tradition began.

As Phoenix fell under the influence of Western ure (DURBAN), that day was called 'Velan time' day.

The ritual soon spread to Britain and many other Western countries, Specifically, the catch words 'Velan time!'. Of course in their foreign Tongues, it was first anglisised to 'Velantime' and then to 'Valentine'. And thereafter, 14th of February came to be known as Valentine's Day!

Three Cheers to the dear Phoenix Women for starting the Valentine's day!
