Presentation for Valentine's Day for children. Presentation “February 14 - “Valentine’s Day”” on the world around us - project, report. Who was Valentin himself in love with?


The holiday that The 14th of February celebrated by many people around the world. Presumably named after one of the two early Christian martyrs with the name Valentinus - Valentinus of Interam and Valentinus of Rome




In the late Middle Ages in France and England, the life of St. Valentina gradually began to acquire legends associated with secret wedding couples in love.


According to Golden legend in those distant and dark times, the powerful and cruel Roman emperor Claudius II came to the conclusion that a single man, not burdened with a wife and family, would be better off fighting on the battlefield for the glory of the king, and forbade men from marrying, and women and girls from marrying the men they loved.


A Saint Valentine was ordinary field doctor and a priest who sympathized with the unhappy lovers and, secretly from everyone, sanctified the marriage under the cover of darkness loving men and women. Soon the activities of Saint Valentine became known to the authorities, and he was put in prison and sentenced to death. In conclusion, Saint Valentine met the warden’s beautiful daughter, Julia.


Before his death, a priest in love wrote a declaration of love to his beloved girl - valentine , where he told about his love and signed it "Your Valentine." It was read after he was executed, and the execution itself took place February 14, 269.


So, according to the Golden Legend, Valentine's Day is still celebrated today The 14th of February.

In the 3rd century AD. Roman Emperor Claudius II issued a decree prohibiting people from getting married.

Before his execution, on February 14, 270, he sent the girl a short farewell note with the signature: “From Valentine,” which later came to mean eternal affection and fidelity. And the date of death, the priest who betrothed the lovers, despite severe obstacles, and did not see his happiness, remained forever in the memory of people. His ashes were buried in the Church of St. Praxidis in Rome.

From the history of the holiday

  • Valentine's Day - the holiday of lovers - has been celebrated on February 14 in Europe since the 13th century, in the USA - since 1777, in Russia - since the early 1990s. But why is it still a Valentine's Day? There are many beautiful legends about this. The British, for example, believe that from February 14th nature takes a turn towards spring, and the mating season of birds begins; even an old English proverb says: “On Valentine’s Day, all the birds in the air unite in pairs.” There is other evidence that February 14 is Valentine's Day. Lived in the 3rd century in the city of Terni (Roman Empire) the Holy Great Martyr Valentine. He was a clergyman, engaged in scientific research and private medical practice. During the campaign of Emperor Claudius II of Goth against Christians, Bishop Valentin was repressed and beheaded on February 14, 269. Sources claim: the arrest of Bishop Valentin was caused by the fact that the Roman emperor did not allow the soldiers of his legions to marry, and Valentin secretly married legionnaires and their lovers. While awaiting execution in one of the Roman prisons, Valentine wrote a letter to the daughter of his jailer and signed it: “Your Valentine.” Then he miraculously healed her of blindness, but was still executed. The date of the execution coincided with a Roman celebration in honor of Juno, the goddess of love. Since then, every year on February 14, people remembered Valentine and organized a holiday for all lovers.

LACERY HEART WITH A TWIST
  • Let's get to work. We will need: colored paper(preferably double-sided), scissors, glue, thread, straw or other hard material (wire, cocktail or juice straw). 1. From red paper, cut out two strips 29 cm long and 1 cm wide. From paper yellow color cut out two strips 26 cm long and 1 cm wide. From green paper, cut two strips 23 cm long and 1 cm wide. From blue paper, cut two strips 20 cm long and 1 cm wide. 2. Now the strips different lengths and connect different colors with edges and glue them together. You will get two "rainbows". 3. Next, we connect the ends of the “rainbows” by placing a thread and a straw between them. 4. Now, having pulled the thread well, we connect the other ends of the “rainbows”, also placing a thread and a straw between them. It turned out to be a heart. The straw will hold the shape of the heart; the excess length of the straw needs to be trimmed. But we will still need the extra length of thread - we will make a loop so that the craft can be hung. 5. It's time for the twist. In the middle of the heart, on a thread and a straw, we glue a photograph of a loved one so that the object of adoration is clear. You can post your photo to remind you of yourself. Or you can stick a photo of yourself on one side, and a photo of your loved one on the other side. We wish everyone good luck and love!
LACERY HEART WITH A TWIST HEART AS A GIFT
  • There are two holidays celebrated in February. For one of them, for Valentine's Day, we want to offer this homemade product. After all, a heart made with your own hands and given to a loved one will be even more valuable, and the gift itself will be more pleasant.
HEART AS A GIFT
  • Prepare two “heart” blanks from paper of different colors.
  • 2. Cut off the top of the workpieces, as shown in the figure (for one workpiece - on the right side, for the second - on the left side).
  • 3. Cut the blanks into strips of equal width (not all the way!). Cut one piece lengthwise.
  • 4. Cut the second piece crosswise.
  • 5. Interlace the cut halves in a checkerboard pattern. You will get a heart from two closely connected parts.
HEART AS A GIFT Wall newspapers Wall newspapers Paper hearts February 14th is Valentine's Day
