By the end of the 15th century, the word \u201cvalentine\u201d was being used to describe a lover in poems and songs of the day, and in the 18th century, a book called&nbsp;<em>The Young Man\u2019s Valentine Writer<\/em>&nbsp;was published in England. By the mid-19th century, mass-produced paper Valentine\u2019s Cards were being created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did Valentine\u2019s Day start?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valentine\u2019s Day is a fixed day on the calendar, and the ancient Roman calendar included a mid-February holiday even before St. Valentine\u2019s time. That holiday (arguably the origin of Valentine\u2019s Day), called Lupercalia,&nbsp;celebrated fertility, and may have included a ritual in which men and women were paired off by choosing names from a jar. In Ancient Greece, people observed a mid-winter celebration for the marriage of the god Zeus and the goddess Hera. Some historians wonder if these traditions may have influenced the way we now celebrate February 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who was Saint Valentine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much, it turns out. Saint Valentine\u2019s Day was a feast day in the Catholic religion, added to the liturgical calendar around 500 AD. (Thanks, Pope Gelasius!) The day was commemorated for martyred saints&nbsp;named\u2014you guessed it\u2014Valentine. Differing legends celebrate&nbsp;three different saints called Valentine or Valentinus, but since very little was known about these men&nbsp;and there were conflicting reports of the Saint Valentine Day story, the feast day was removed from the Christian liturgical calendar in 1969.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even though not much is known about the real history of the Saint Valentines on whom the holiday is based, the legend of Saint Valentine has several tellings. One legend says that Saint Valentine refused to convert to paganism and was executed by Roman Emperor Claudius II. Prior to his death, he was able to miraculously heal the daughter of his jailer, who then converted to Christianity along with his family. Another legend says a bishop called Saint Valentine of Terni is the true namesake of the holiday; this Saint Valentine was also executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth about Valentine\u2019s Day history is that the romantic holiday isn\u2019t immune to trauma. In Prohibition Chicago in 1929, seven men were killed by a gang organized by Al Capone on February 14. The Valentine\u2019s Day Massacre became a flashpoint in Prohibition history, with police and lawmakers going after the gangs and mobs that had formed in cities to control then-illegal substances like alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the meaning of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.defencewardsmatrimony.com\">Valentine\u2019s<\/a> Day?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years (and centuries), Valentine\u2019s Day has been a religious celebration, an ancient ritual day, and a commercial holiday. All that change means the meaning of Valentine\u2019s Day is truly whatever you want it to be: You can skip the celebrations completely, buy yourself some chocolate or flowers, or express your love and appreciation for the people in your life, whether they\u2019re co-workers, romantic partners, friends, or family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure of what to do on Valentine\u2019s Day, just know that there are no rules: It\u2019s a new era, and you can celebrate the day of love however you want, even if it\u2019s just through self-love. A nice dinner out, going to the movies, cooking a fancy meal at home, or hosting a Valentine\u2019s Day party are also great ways to celebrate; whatever you do, if you have a romantic partner, everything will be fun and everything will make sense.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.defencewardsmatrimony.com\">www.defencewardsmatrimony.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do we celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day?Valentine\u2019s Day may be associated with romance, but the origin of the holiday isn\u2019t romantic.
