The History and Origins of Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day, also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, has roots in both ancient Roman traditions and early Christian history. The day is named after Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr who lived in the third century AD. According to historical accounts, Saint Valentine performed secret weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry under the Roman Empire, symbolising love and devotion.

Over the centuries, the holiday evolved from a religious feast day into a commercial celebration of romance and affection. During the Middle Ages, writers like Geoffrey Chaucer associated the day with the mating season of birds, reinforcing its connection to love. By the 18th century, sending handmade cards, gifts, and flowers became popular traditions in England and later spread globally.
