Why is February 14 celebrated as Valentine's day?

Answer: There is some uncertainty about the origins of Valentine's Day. While some people think it came from ancient Roman festivities, others think it has something to do with St Valentine, a priest who was executed on February 14.

‌The story of Valentine's Day is linked to a third-century priest named Valentine who performed secret marriages, and the Roman fertility festival Lupercalia.

‌ Valentine defied the emperor's orders and secretly married couples to spare the husbands from war. It is for this reason that his feast day is associated with love. Formal messages, or valentines, appeared in the 1500s, and by the late 1700s commercially printed cards were being used.

‌ During the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds' mating season, 

‌ Centuries later it's said that he was elevated to the altars which drove Pope Gelasio I in the year 494 to declare the 14th of February, on the day of his torture, the official day of Saint Valentine.

‌ Valentine's Day quotes. "You are the sunshine that brightens up my day and the stars that light up my night." "I love you more with every beat of my heart." "You are my forever Valentine, my soulmate, and my everything.

‌ Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate love and affection, and is celebrated by sending gifts, cards, and messages to loved ones. It's also a commercial holiday that boosts sales for businesses like florists and chocolate makers.

‌ Many historians suggest that the ancient Romans are responsible for our modern Valentine's Day because Emperor Claudius II executed two men – both happened to be named Valentine – on February 14th of different years in the 3rd century.

‌ Saint Valentine (Italian: San Valentino; Latin: Valentinus) was a 3rd-century Roman saint, commemorated in Western Christianity on February 14 and in Eastern Orthodoxy on July

‌ The story of Saint Valentine is associated with a number of legends and traditions. The day of February 14th is celebrated as Valentine's Day in Western Christianity to commemorate the saint.
