The origin of valentine's day
One story of the origins of Valentines Day comes from the time of the Roman Empire, under the rule of Emperor Claudius the Second, also known as Claudius the Cruel. At that time, Rome was involved in many bloody wars, so Claudius was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues
He believed that men did not want to leave their lovers or families. As a result, he forbade all marriages and engagements in Rome.
During this time a Christian priest named Valentine began to secretly marry couples despite the emperors orders.
When Emperor Claudius discovered this disobedience, Valentine was sent to prison, where he ended up losing his life on February 14 in the year 270.
Valentine’s Day is also linked to the pagan festival of Lupercalia, which was celebrated on February 15 by young Romans centuries before Christ. The celebration concerned all young people of marriageable age in the country. The tokens representing all the young girls were placed in a love urn and the young lads each drew a token and the couples paired off.
During the Roman occupation of Britain, the idea was brought to this country and adopted by the ancient Britons. When people were converted to Christianity, the pagan and Christian festivals were merged as one; which then was celebrated on St. Valentine's day, February 14.
