What is the history of Valentine’s day?
Did you know that St. Valentine’s Day is another name for Valentine’s Day? The Feast of Saint Valentine is another name for St. Valentine’s Day. Every year on February 14th, this day is observed. And this year’s celebration will take place on a Monday.
St. Valentine’s Day is said to be named after a bishop or priest named Valentine in the third century. Claudius II, the Roman emperor, reportedly imprisoned the priest for disobeying orders. The order he defied was not preventing Christian marriages. Because of how Christians were persecuted in the empire, the emperor prohibited Christian marriages.
However, the priest disregarded the order and secretly married many couples to save the husbands from the war. It is said that he was sentenced to death because of how far he went to defy the emperor’s orders.
At the end of the fifth century, Pope Gelasius declared St. Valentine’s Day to be a holiday to honour the priest. According to some, Saint Valentine died on February 14th, which is why Valentine’s Day is celebrated on that day. However, we will never know the entire narrative.
