A brief history on Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day, celebrated on February 14th each year, has a rich history dating back centuries. Its origins can be traced to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, a fertility celebration held in mid-February. However, the holiday as we know it today is named after St. Valentine, a Roman priest who defied Emperor Claudius II's ban on marriage for young soldiers. St. Valentine continued to perform marriages in secret, leading to his eventual martyrdom. Over time, Valentine's Day evolved into a celebration of love and affection, marked by the exchange of cards, gifts, and gestures of appreciation.
