Why do we celebrate Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day falls on February 14 every year and this year i.e 2022, the occasion will be celebrated on Monday. Historically, the date was called Lupercalia in the ancient Roman calendar as many historians believed it to be the reason for the day being celebrated for love. Lupercalia reportedly celebrates fertility as the ancient tradition may have involved the men and women becoming a couple by drawing each other's names from a jar. 

Over the years, Valentine's Day celebration has become dynamic with the celebration not only being limited to romantic couples but also between friends, family and more as people celebrate love amongst each other. The celebration starts from February 7 as people celebrate the whole week leading up to Valentine's Day with different special days like Rose Day, Chocolate Day and more.
