The origin of Valentine’s Day
The celebration blends the story of Saint Valentine of Rome, a priest who secretly married couples when Emperor Claudius II had banned it, with ancient pagan fertility festivals like Lupercalia. In the 14th century, Geoffrey Chaucer linked the date to romantic love, and handwritten “valentines” became popular in Victorian England.
Today the date moves billions: an estimated 250 million roses and over 1 billion cards are exchanged every year worldwide.
