Story
Roman Emperor
Claudius II was against
marriages in his
kingdom and
imprisoned Saint
Valentine for secretly
performing wedding of
soldiers. During his
imprisonment St.
Valentine fell in love
with the blind
daughter of his jailer
Asterius and before his
death he wrote a
farewell letter to her
signed as “Your
Valentine”.
thSince then 14 Feb was
celebrated as the Day
of Love. Every year this
day is celebrated as
the tradition of courtly
love. Valentine's Day was
originated from a
Roman Festival
known as
Lupercalia. It was
held on February
15 as a fertility
festival wherein
during the
celebrations boys
were to draw
names of girls from
a box and the pair
would be partners
during the festival.
The festival
survived the initial
rise of Christianity
but was outlawed
at the end of the
5th century when
Pope Gelasius
declared February
14 St Valentine's
Day.Valentine’s Day
