Valentine’s Day has a fascinating history dating back to ancient Rome! 🏛️
Legend has it that Saint Valentine was a priest who defied Emperor Claudius II’s ban on marriages for young soldiers. He continued performing secret weddings and was eventually executed on February 14th, around 269 AD. His bravery turned him into a symbol of love and devotion.💍
The holiday also has roots in the Roman festival Lupercalia, a celebration of fertility and the coming of spring. 🌿
By the Middle Ages, thanks to poets like Geoffrey Chaucer, February 14th became associated with romance.💕
The tradition of exchanging love notes and gifts grew in popularity, evolving into the Valentine’s Day we know today!
Today is all about love in all its forms. 💞💞💞
