What were the beginnings of Valentine's Day?
Historians are not unanimous as to where exactly Valentine's Day originated from. The most common theory is a combination of Roman and Christian customs. In ancient Rome, February 14 and 15 were celebrated to honor Juno, the goddess of women and marriage, and Pan, the god of nature. Lupercalia was renamed St. Valentine's Day due to the spreading of the Christian faith in Europe. The bishop and martyr lived at the turn of the 2nd and 3rd century. It was the reign of Claudius II of Gotha, who decreed that men between the ages of 18 and 37 could not marry. Legionaries were to focus on doing their duty, and Claudius and his advisors believed that men who did not have families and were not consumed with longing for loved ones were better warriors. Valentine broke this prohibition and blessed the unions of young people. This procedure was discovered by representatives of the ruler, as a consequence of which Valentine was sentenced to death. It is believed that the execution of the bishop took place on February 14, and therefore this day is dedicated to the clergyman, who was declared the patron saint of lovers. The traditions and customs associated with the modern celebration of Valentine's Day did not become popular until the 18th century. This is when lovers began to give each other love letters and symbolic gifts.
