Each year on February 14th, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers with their special “valentine.” The day of romance we call Valentine's Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holidays.
Valentine's Day is a holiday shrouded in mystery and legend. The origins of St. Valentine's Day lie in the ancient Roman fertility festival Lupercalia, which was celebrated on February 15. St. Valentine's Day began as all celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentines.
Many people today think of him as a cupid because he use to get couples married who wanted to do love marriage since it was prohibited in the early ages. Everyone celebrates valentines with their special one but history shows that this holiday was made for people who showed love for their friends through gifts and cards.
Conversation hearts, truffles galore and heart-shaped boxes of chocolates—these are the symbols of Valentine’s Day for many lovers around the world. This tradition of exchanging gift of chocolate boxes is much more recent then the history of valentines day itself but it has been going on for so long that it has become the way of celebrating valentines day.
