History of Valentine’s Day

Saint Valentine’s Day or Valentine’s Day is celebrated in memory of the 3rd-century priest, Saint Valentine of Rome. The story goes that Emperor Claudius II forbade soldiers from marrying because he believed that married men could not perform their duties. St. Valentine secretly began helping these soldiers find their mates and get married. He was thrown into prison for this by the emperor but also in prison he continued his service to love. He even astonishingly healed the jailer’s daughter of her blindness. According to legend, the priest signed a letter “from your Valentine” to the daughter of his jailer, that was discovered and that became the reason for his martyrdom on February 14th.

After a couple of centuries, Rome became Christian and paganism was abolished, giving way to a feast for the saints who proclaimed February 14 as Valentine’s Day. The poet Chaucer in the middle ages was the first to link Valentine’s Day to love. It was the beginning of the tradition of courtly love, a ritual of expressing love and admiration.

The ritual began to gain popularity in all Western countries and quickly spread around the world. It has evolved a lot since then and is now a global celebration of all kinds of love. There is a whole week dedicated to love, romance and everything in between.
