Valentine’s Day is the day when people show their affection to another by sending cards, flowers, chocolates and other messages of love and gifts. Valentine’s Day is a a day to celebrate romance, love and feal with a face.
How Did Valentine’s Day Start?
Valentine’s Day is said to begun from a Roman festival called Lupercalia, which takes place in mid-February to welcome spring. As part of the celebrations, the boys recorded the names of their loved ones and kept them in a box. They also often got married during the festival. The church decided to make Lupercalia a Christian feast and decided to commemorate the patron saint of lovers, St. Valentine. It has chosen February 14 as the day of celebration and has since been celebrated worldwide as Valentine’s Day.
There is a true story full of love, sacrifice and commitment. But the origins of this candy and cupid festival are dark, bloody — and a little spoiled.
