Valentine's Day: Love is in the Air, and So is the Origin Story
Happy Valentine's Day, folks! Love is in the air, and if you're like me, you're feeling the love bug nibbling at your heartstrings. But where did this holiday of love and affection come from, and why do we celebrate it every February 14th? Let's take a closer look.
The Origin of Valentine's Day: A Wild Tale of Love, Lust, and Laughter
Valentine's Day has a history that dates back over a thousand years, to ancient Rome. It was a time of love, lust, and laughter, where men would shower their women with gifts and kisses. But the real story of Valentine's Day is much wilder and more entertaining than that.
You see, back in the day, the Romans celebrated the festival of Lupercalia in mid-February. It was a time of wild parties, where men and women would pair off, exchange gifts, and engage in wild acts of love and lust. But as the Roman Empire crumbled and Christianity took over, the church sought to put an end to the wild ways of Lupercalia.
Enter Saint Valentine, a Christian priest who was imprisoned for marrying couples in secret. Despite being locked up, he continued to spread the message of love and affection, even sending love letters to the jailer's daughter. And so, when he was eventually executed on February 14th, the holiday of love and affection was born. (Lessons learnt> "Don't send love letters to your captor's daughter.)
The Rest is History: From Love Letters to Chocolate Boxes
And so, over the centuries, Valentine's Day evolved into the holiday we know and love today. People started exchanging love letters and small gifts, and eventually, chocolates, flowers, and teddy bears became the norm.
But despite its evolution, the spirit of Valentine's Day remains the same. It's a day to celebrate love and affection, to show your loved ones how much you care. And whether you're single or taken, there's no better time to spread a little love and laughter.
