Valentine’s Day – A Brief History
The history and origin of Valentine’s day extends back thousands of years and has several points of inspiration. The holiday is always celebrated on February 14, and this inspiration in part was drawn from a clergyman, Saint Valentine, who was executed around 269 AD.
Historians and organized religions the world over consider Valentine a martyr, given that he was put to death for ministering to Christians under the Roman Empire – which was forbidden at the time.
Legend has it that not only did this continual evangelical ministry take place, but he performed secret wedding ceremonies for Christian couples. When arrested for this ministry, he came before Emperor Claudius II, whom he actually befriended until Valentine proceeded to try and convert his emperor pal, who promptly forgot all notions of friendship and had him brutally executed.
Not so romantic!
Our dearly departed Saint Valentine became associated with a cultural day of romance slowly over the centuries.
It’s thought that due to some confusion regarding the equinoxes and prior to the introduction of the Gregorian calendar, the onset of Spring in many famous romantic poems that referenced Valentine was actually later in the year.
Combine this Springtime gaiety with the tendency of the English royal court to practice lighthearted courtly love and flirting – Valentine’s Day was born.
