How did Valentine's Day originate?
Valentine's Day has its origins in ancient Rome, where the feast of Saint Valentine was celebrated in honor of Saint Valentinus. According to legend, Valentinus was a priest who secretly married lovers when this was forbidden by Emperor Claudius II. He believed in the power of love and sacrifice, and his courageous deeds made him a symbol of romance and loyalty. Over the centuries, Valentine's Day evolved from a religious celebration to a day when people show their love and affection with gifts, flowers, and cards.
