WELCOME TO CHARITY FOR VALENTINE'S DAY TRIATHLON The truth is that Valentine has nothing to do with it. Agrees that today is February 14, the traditional day for lovers. But if it were July 7 would be in the same, or do we attach horns to the popular San Fermin?
For those of the atmosphere, the all-knowing güikipedia said that the first association between romantic love and Valentine's Day is in the "Parlement of Foules" (1382), by an English poet called Geoffrey Chaucer. They say that the above wrote a poem to honor the first anniversary of the compromise between King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia. A treaty was signed on this marriage on May 2, 1381. They married eight months later, when King was 13 or 14 and she 14. Things royalty ... To know what we were doing at that age.
"Because it was Valentine's Day, when each bird
came here to choose your partner"
In the liturgical calendar, the birthday is May 2 Genoa Valentine, a bishop died around 307. Seeing that the fronted Lucas Cranach painted nobody attributed to Bishop Valentine no ability to love at first sight.
poem Readers incorrectly assumed that Chaucer was referring to February 14 as Valentine's Day. However, in England in February is not suitable for the birds to mate. The explanations of 'ancestral custom sentimental "are speculative and are rooted in the XVII century, agree that the custom of celebrating Valentine's Day comes from the Lupercalia, archaic rite connected to fertility. Not felt any romantic touch on this, because this was a Faun Luperco volume and back, something like a Lecquio of those then.
And what's more important, nor is there any source that can confirm whether Valentine riding a bike or know what a transition.
Having said that there is no relationship between Valentine and the triathlon, but the anniversary will help us remember the day of emergence of this new community blog, go to the issue that we face, which is the debut of the charity project of our club (FIXED-TRIATHLON ADRUMBO CIEZA) with Caritas, and the world united in its entirety:
The triathlon is tough. But we are fortunate: we do because we like and can. Instead, each day, more so in times of crisis, life is much harder for millions of people.
Therefore, each and every one of the athletes who make up the Sports Association Rumbo Fijo - Triathlon Cieza, with this symbolic and modest gesture to include the logo of Caritas in our kits, we add our grain of sand to solidarity. By analogy with sports, we direct our conscious effort to fight to keep the torch of solidarity throughout the year, as if it were an Olympic torch.
Solidarity Because we can not her into the confines of the beloved holidays. Disadvantaged people need daily. The telethons with which television programming usually fill at Christmas, are very good for dessert, but missing "nutrients" the rest of the year.
If we restrict ourselves to think alike, we seek sponsorship from a company engaged in the manufacture of nougat. So for that Solidarity is not like a bar of nougat, which is consumed only at Christmas, "the commitment is there to keep it alive throughout the year. We would like our commitment not to stay in a merely symbolic gesture. Take the heart of Caritas on our heart, throughout the year, in the arduous task of training and the comforting feeling to compete.
Triathlon is a tough sport. BUT IT IS MUCH HARDER LIFE FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. BETWEEN ALL WE CAN TO HELP AND DIGNITY more bearable. Joining us? THE SPORT OF SOLIDARITY AND WE PRACTICE WHAT WE ALL.
