Why Do We Celebrate Valentine's Day?

The History Of Valentine's Day

The Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine. He was a Catholic priest in Rome during the 3rd century. During that time period, many Romans were converting to Christianity. But there were many strict rules for the observance of Christian rituals as Emperor Clausius II was a pagan. The roman soldiers at that time were not allowed to marry. This is because the emperor believed that the soldiers should only pay attention to Rome. Saint Valentine was the one who married these soldiers in secret ceremonies at church. This is how he gained the reputation of someone who believed in the importance of love. Claudius found out what Saint Valentine had been doing and He was jailed. Valentine was known to have cared for the fellow prisoners and the jailor's daughter. The daughter of the jailor was a blind woman. Legend has it that the blindness of the woman was cured by Saint Valentine. Right after that, he was executed. The jailor's daughter received a love message right before his execution that said: "From your Valentine". The Saint Valentine of Rome was executed on the 14th of February in 270 AD. This is the reason why the Valentine's Day is celebrated on the 14th of February of each year.


Christianity prevailed in Rome after two hundred years of Saint Valentine's execution. At this time, a pagan ritual for fertility was still held in February each which was canceled by the Pope. The pope also declared the 14th of February as the Saint Valentine's Day. Later in the middle ages, poet Chaucer linked romantic love with Saint Valentine.
