The fourth day of November marks the anniversary of the Egyptian Valentine's Day, which is quite different from what people know from the traditional celebration of Valentine's Day, which the world celebrates each year on 14 November.
Egyptian journalist Mustafa Amin is a strange story of Egyptian love. When he was released from prison in 1974, he happened to see a coffin in the Sayyida Zeinab neighborhood that was followed by three men. They said to him: He is an old man who reached the age of seventy, but no one loved him, hence the idea of launching a day of love in Egypt.
Mustafa Amin published his proposal, but it was met with cynicism at the beginning, as some considered it contrary to tradition and a call for love and love, but that over time the idea has received the approval of many, especially as the principle of humanity to spread love between members and components of Egyptian society.
When the proposal was published, it was met with cynicism and intense attack. It should be among all members of society and not limited to specific people.
The philosophy of Mustafa Amin was to spread love among the people in general and not the love that was known for Valentine's Day around the world, which dates back to the third century after the birth of Christ. The soldiers should not distract them from waging war, but Saint Valentine confronted this ruling, and marriage contracts were done in secret, but he was soon exposed and sentenced to death on November 14, 270 AD.
