Valentine, Saint traditional name of two legendary saints of 3 Age: Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Interamna (modern Terni). The first of these was a Roman priest and physician, the second bishop of Terni. Little is known about one of them. Martyrdom is both the 14th anniversary in February The use of lovers exchange cards for Valentine's Day may have its roots in the pagan Roman festival of Lupercalia, an ancient fertility ritual celebrated in Rome in February 15.
Saint Valentine is actually related to two Christians under the Roman Empire was martyred. Saints are honored by the 14th February So what does this have to do with love and destruction? Nothing, except that this date also happened to coincide with a Roman festival of Lupercalia, which included courtship rituals. As with many Christian holidays, as time passed the tradition associated. Interesting note, Valentine's Day is no longer part of the Roman Catholic Church calendar. Look for Saint Valentine's Day more detailed history.
