What is the origin of Valentines Day?

The Valentines Day begins during the heyday of the Roman Empire, which held a festival every February. The festival called Lupercian Festival. It was held to honor the God of Fertility. During the festivities young men would get to choose their mate. And usually marriage happens. However when Caludius became emperor, he changed the tradition. He didn’t allow the festival because he was afraid that men would refuse their duty to fight because they would not want to leave their wives behind, he outlawed all marriages.

However, there was a catholic bishop, named Valentin, who, understanding love, began to secretly marry couples. When Claudius found out, he had Valentine arrested and ordered put to death. While waiting in jail, Valentine began exchanging letters with the jailer’s daughter and soon had fallen in love with her. The day he was to be beheaded, he wrote her one last note and signed it: ‘From Your Valentine’.
