What is Valentines Day?
Valentine's Day is celebrated yearly on February 14. Secret admires, partners, lovers and the
like send delicious Valentines Day gifts of love and desire to their most cherished.
Sometimes innocent notes of friendship are exchanged between friends and family. It is a day
for all to show the people that they love and cherish that they are remembered and cared about.
What is the history of Valentines Day?
Valentine’s Day originated in the 3rd century. St. Valentine was a priest in Rome during the
reign of Emperor Claudius II. The Emperor was having trouble recruiting members for his army
because the men did not want to leave their wives and children for the long military
expeditions. Some of these expeditions would last for months and even years. Emperor Claudius
then decided that banning marriages in Rome would solve "his" problem. The Emperor Claudius had
St. Valentine sentenced to death for defying his order and marrying couples in secret!
As St. Valentine awaited execution, his admirers would come to the jail and leaving notes of
support and flowers. As luck would have it, his most ardent admirer turned out to be the
daughter of a prison guard. She would visit him for hours a day . On the day of his execution,
February 14 in the year 269 AD, St. Valentine wrote her a note expressing his gratitude for her
love, support, and friendship and signed it "Love from our Valentine".
As it turned, out, the festival of Lupercalia (an ode to the god of fertility and a
celebration of sensual pleasure) followed close after St. Valentine was executed.
During the festival, boys would draw the names of girls and they would pair up for the games
and festivities. The name Valentine was linked to this romantic festival.
In 496, Pope Gelasius set aside the date of February 14 to honor Valentine as a saint.
