Happy Valentine’s Day: A History
The origin of the holiday of St. Valentine is associated with St. Valentine, who is remembered for his selfless help to couples.
According to legend, Saint Valentine was sentenced to prison and beheaded by Emperor Claudius II. for secret marriages.
On the day of his execution, Saint Valentine sent a letter to Julia, the jailer’s blind daughter, with the inscription “Your Valentine”. Since then, Valentine’s Day has been celebrated on February 14 every year.
It is also associated with Lupercalia, the ancient Roman festival of fertility, and with Cupid, the Roman god of love and desire – both of which shaped modern day symbols of celebration.
