Today is Dragobete. A traditional Romanian observance, Dragobete is celebrated on 24 February each year, 10 days after Valentine’s Day, and is a day dedicated to love and nature. Legend has it that Dragobete was the son of Baba Dochia, the goddess who ushered in spring, and because of his unending kindness, he was blessed by the Virgin Mary, to be the guardian of love.
I missed yesterday’s birthday, in 1685, of George Frideric Handel. Here is a nice piece he composed that might take your mind off the news for a while. Listen and enjoy.
