Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. It originated as a Christian feast day honoring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine and, through later folk traditions, has become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

There are a number of martyrdom stories associated with various Valentines connected to February 14, including an account of the imprisonment of Saint Valentine of Rome for ministering to Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire in the third century. According to an early tradition, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his jailer. Numerous later additions to the legend have better related it to the theme of love: an 18th-century embellishment to the legend claims he wrote the jailer's daughter a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell before his execution; another addition posits that Saint Valentine performed weddings for Christian soldiers who were forbidden to marry.

There is a tradition that the Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honour of Saint Valentine of Rome, who died on that date in AD 269. The feast is found in the Gelasian Sacramentary (which was compiled after Gelasius), meaning that is has been observed since at least the eighth century. The day became associated with romantic love in the 14th and 15th centuries when notions of courtly love flourished, apparently by association with the "lovebirds" of early spring. In 18th-century England, it grew into an occasion in which couples expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards. In Italy, Saint Valentine's Keys are given to lovers "as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver's heart", as well as to children to ward off epilepsy (called Saint Valentine's Malady).

Saint Valentine's Day is not a public holiday in any country, although it is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran Church. Many parts of the Eastern Orthodox Church also celebrate Saint Valentine's Day on July 6 in honor of Roman presbyter Saint Valentine, and on July 30 in honor of Hieromartyr Valentine, the Bishop of Interamna (modern Terni).

ఎందుకో నన్నింతగ నీవు

పల్లవి: ఎందుకో నన్నింతగ నీవు ప్రేమించితివో దేవా 

అందుకో నా దీన స్తుతి పాత్ర హల్లెలూయ యేసయ్యా 

1. నా పాపము బాప నరరూపి వైనావు - నా శాపము మాప నలిగి వ్రేలాడితివి

నాకు చాలిన దేవుడవు నీవే నా స్థానములో నీవే  .. హల్లెలూయ..

2. నీ రూపము నాలో నిర్మించి యున్నావు నీ పోలికలోనే నివసించు చున్నావు 

నీవు నన్ను ఎన్ను కొంటివి  నీ కొరకై నీ క్రుపలో .. హల్లెలూయ..

3. నా శ్రమలు సహించి నా ఆశ్రయ మైనావు - నా వ్యధలు భరించి నన్నా దు కొన్నావు 

నన్ను నీలో చూచుకున్నావు నను దాచి యున్నావు .. హల్లెలూయ..

"One Thing Remains"

Higher than the mountains that I face

Stronger than the power of the grave

Constant through the trial and the change

One thing… Remains

One thing… Remains

Your love never fails, never gives up

Never runs out on me [3x]

Because on and on and on and on it goes

For it overwhelms and satisfies my soul

And I never, ever, have to be afraid

One thing remains

One thing remains                           

Your love never fails, never gives up

Never runs out on me [3x]

In death, In life, I’m confident and covered by the power

of  Y o u r  great love

My debt is paid, there’s nothing that can separate

My heart from  Y o u r  great love   

Your love never fails, never gives up

Never runs out on me [3x]

Because on and on and on and on it goes

For it overwhelms and satisfies my soul

And I never, ever, have to be afraid

One thing remains

One thing remains   

ఆశ్చర్యమైన ప్రేమ

పల్లవి: ఆశ్చర్యమైన ప్రేమ - కల్వరిలోని ప్రేమ

మరణము కంటె బలమైన ప్రేమది - నన్ను జయించె నీ ప్రేమ

1. పరమును వీడిన ప్రేమ - ధరలో పాపిని వెదకిన ప్రేమ

నన్ను కరుణించి, ఆదరించి, సేదదీర్చి, నిత్య జీవమిచ్చె

…ఆశ్చర్యమైన ప్రేమ…

2. పావన యేసుని ప్రేమ - సిలువలో పాపిని మోసిన ప్రేమ

నాకై మరణించి, జీవమిచ్చి, జయమిచ్చి, తన మహిమ నిచ్చే

…ఆశ్చర్యమైన ప్రేమ…

3. శ్రమలు సహించిన ప్రేమ - నాకై శాపము నోర్చిన ప్రేమ

విడనాడని, ప్రేమది, ఎన్నడు, యెడబాయదు

…ఆశ్చర్యమైన ప్రేమ…

4. నా స్థితి జూచిన ప్రేమ - నాపై జాలిని జూపిన ప్రేమ

నాకై పరుగెత్తి, కౌగలించి, ముద్దాడి, కన్నీటిని తుడిచే

…ఆశ్చర్యమైన ప్రేమ…

యేసూ నీ నామం ఎంతో ఘనమైనదీ

పల్లవి: యేసూ నీ వాక్యం ఎంతో బలమైనదీ

యేసూ నీ స్నేహం ఎంతో ప్రియమైనదీ

యేసూ నీ త్యాగం ఎంతో విలువైనదీ

హలెలూయా హలెలూయా హలెలూయా ఆమెన్

యేసూ నీ ప్రేమ మధురం

1. దేవా ఆదరించుమయా - నీలో ప్రతి ఆశ తీరునయా

దేవా నా దేవా నీవే చాలునయా - నిన్నే ప్రతి దినము ఆరాధింతునయా

శ్రమైన , బాధైన - తోడు నీవేనయా

నీలోనే ఆనందం - శాశ్వత జీవమయా

2. దేవా దారిచూపుమయా - నీదు కృపలో కాయుమయా

దేవా నా దేవా నీవే చాలునయా - నీదు చిత్తములో నన్ను నడుపుమయా

నా గానం , నా ప్రాణం - నీకేగా అంకితం

నీవేగా ఆధారం - నీవే నా సర్వం
