The origin of valentine’s  or heart’s day.
The history of heart’s day,as so called,dates back before Christianity.It’s important to know that the Valentine’s day we do celebrate today came from the name of a  benevolent priest called ST.VALENTINE who was killed by then Roman emperor known as CLAUDIUS II  around 270 A.D.
But it was believed that heart’s day started when Christians decided to place St.valentine’s feast day in the middle of every February in an effort to Christianize the pagan belief and tradition of LUPERCALIA .It was learnt that Lupercalia was a fertility feastival dedicated to FAUNAS,the  Roman God of agriculture and also to Romulus and Remus believed to be Roman founders.
To start the feastival,members of the luperci would gather at a sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus where believed to have been caved  by a she-wolf or Lupa to sacrifice a goat for fertility and a dog for purity.They would then strip the goat’s hide into strips dip them into the sacrificial blood and take to the streets,gently slapping both women and fields with the goat’s hide.Far from  being fearful,Roman women welcomed the touch of the hides because  it was believed to make them more fertile in the coming year.Later in the day,all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn or container where the city’s bachelors would each  choose a name and become paired for the year with their choosen woman.These matches often ended in marriage.
 It was observed that Lupercalia  feastival survived the  initial rise of Christianity but later outlawed as it was deemed un-christian while a Christian version of it is now placed by pope Galasius around 5th century  through the aforementioned priest known as St.Valentine.
It is also useful to understand that some countries consider February 14th as the beginning of “birds mating season” which added to the idea that it should be a day for romance.
Well,wish you all happy VAL.

Maori Tezuka , a former opera singer who made her debut in Japan's 'silver porn' industry at 71 has called it a quit after 9 years.   Tezuka's decision was partly on a lack of red-blooded ' Lotharios ' able to keep up with her.

She, however, consider a possible return in two or three years to come. 'It was never about the money for me. I've already been asked about returning in two or three years -- I said I'd think about it' she concluded. See some of her pictures below;
