Valentine’s Day, also known as Saint Valentine’s Day, has a rich and fascinating history that dates back centuries. The origins of this romantic holiday can be traced back to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, which was celebrated in mid-February. However, it was during the third century AD that Valentine’s Day gained its association with love and romance.
Legend has it that a Roman priest named Valentine defied Emperor Claudius II’s decree of banning marriages for young soldiers and secretly performed weddings. He was eventually martyred for his actions and became a symbol of love and sacrifice.
Over time, Valentine’s Day evolved into a celebration of affection and admiration, with the tradition of exchanging handwritten love notes or valentines emerging in the 18th century. Today, Valentine’s Day is celebrated worldwide as a day to express love and appreciation for our loved ones.
