You may even consider getting married on Valentine’s Day itself after all what can be more romantic than that! But what about the history surrounding Valentines Day – How did it all begin? There are many theories surrounding the origins of Valentines Day also referred to as St. Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated across the world on 14th February. A special day of celebration between loved ones with an exchange of flowers, sweets, gifts and cards typically symbolised with hearts and words of affection. This holiday is thought to originate from the Roman festival of Lupercalia. It was a time that men and women were paired together in celebration of spring. Eventually, it went on to be referred to as St. Valentine’s Day from around the 14th Century named by Pope Gelasius. Others suggest that it originates from Rome by emperor Claudius II. He noticed that the younger men in his armies that had families or loved ones were much more cautious as they had a family back home waiting for their return. With this in mind he decided to outlaw marriage for the younger men as a preventative measure. However, a priest named Valentine went against this law and continued to marry couples secretly in order to avoid great punishment. Although he was eventually caught, the day went on to be named after him for his courageous and romantic endeavours.
