History and significance of Valentine's Day
Lovebirds across the world celebrate Valentine¡¯s Day with their partners, express their love towards them, and tell them how special they are.
Valentine's Day has been celebrated since the Roman Empire, which is long enough for humankind to perfect it and make it the whimsical holiday it is today! Although nobody knows the exact origin of Valentine's Day, the most popular theory attributes the celebration to the honour of St. Valentine, a Roman priest.
The Catholic Church has now recognised at least two different martyred Saint Valentines who share many similarities, making it difficult to identify the real-life man behind the holiday. Both Valentines were martyred in the third century by the Roman Emperor Claudius. Both men were believed to have died on February 14th, although years apart.
It is widely assumed, however, that it is observed in honour of Saint Valentine of Terni, who was assassinated by Roman Emperor Claudius II. He, who was a priest, is supposedly known for secretly performing Christian marriages for Roman troops and preaching Christianity before it was legal.
Thus, he was placed under house arrest because he refused to renounce his faith. While serving his sentence, he fell in love with the jailer's daughter and soon restored her sight. The whole house converted, believing in the true power of God.
The news reached the emperor, and Valentine was announced to be executed on February 14. On the day of his execution, he sent the jailer's daughter a signed farewell note: "From your Valentine."
Later on, the church sought to make this festival a Christian celebration, so they chose to use it to remember St. Valentine's Day.
Another widely accepted theory around the celebration of Valentine's Day comes from the poet Geoffrey Chaucer, the first person to link Valentine¡¯s Day to romance in his poem The Parlement of Foules.?
He associates this day with romantic love, imagining that this is the time when European birds choose their mates. Others followed suit, including William Shakespeare, and gifting handcrafted cards and tokens became popular in England.
