Why Valentine’s Day is celebrated?
According to several reports, the history of Valentine's Day dates back to ancient Rome. One popular legend suggests that the day is named after St. Valentine, a Christian martyr who defied the Roman Emperor Claudius II. It is believed that St. Valentine secretly performed weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry. His actions aimed to promote love and commitment, which ultimately led to his execution.
Another theory links Valentine's Day to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, celebrated in mid-February. This fertility festival involved rituals that included the pairing of men and women through a lottery, fostering connections and, in some cases, leading to marriages.

Over the centuries, Valentine's Day evolved into a celebration of romantic love. In the Middle Ages, it became associated with courtly love, where knights expressed admiration and devotion to their beloved. The exchange of handmade cards and tokens of affection gained popularity during the Renaissance.

Valentine's Day is just a happy excuse for people to express their love and appreciation for their partners. Couples often exchange heartfelt cards, plan romantic dinners, and give symbolic gifts. It's an opportunity to celebrate the bonds that bring joy and fulfillment to their lives.
