What is the history of Valentine’s Day?

As per the legends, the history of Valentine’s Day goes as back as the third century in Rome when Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men with the belief that unmarried men are better soldiers than those with wives and families. St. Valentine who was a priest during the third century in Rome felt that this law was unjust and he continued performing marriages for young lovers in secret. But when the emperor discovered Valentine’s actions, he sentenced him to death. He was beaten, stoned and beheaded for going against the emperor and marrying young Christian couples. The date of his execution was 14th February, 270 AD.

Valentine’s Day is said to have originated from both old Christian and Roman convention. It is believed that in order to Christianize the pagan festival of Lupercalia, which was celebrated on February 15, Pope Gelasius declared February 14th as St. Valentine’s Day and declared that it will be celebrated as the day to remember the services of St. Valentine’s to humanity.

It was not celebrated as a day of love initially. It was during the middle ages that this day got associated with love based on a common belief of people in England and France that February 14 also marks the beginning of the birds’ mating season which is considered to be very auspicious. Since then, February 14 is celebrated by lovers as Valentine’s day by sharing greetings and pleasantries.
