Valenine's day is celebrated every year on 14 February.
It's the day when people show their affection or love for another
person or people by sending cards, flowers or chocolates. And traditionally on Valentine's Day women can propose marriage to their (boyfriend)
Who was St Valentine?
The day is from a name from a famous saint, but there are some stories of who he was.
About St Valentine is that he was a priest from Rome in the third century AD.
Emperor Claudius II had banned
marriage because he thought married men were bad soldiers. Valentine
felt this was unfair, so he broke the rules and arranged marriages in
secret.
When Claudius found out, Valentine was thrown in jail and sentenced to death.
There, he fell in love with the
jailer's daughter and when he was taken to be killed on 14 February he
sent her a love letter signed "from your Valentine". That can be the reason
How did Valetine's day start?
Valentine's Day is a very old tradition,we thought was originated from a Roman festival.
The Romans had a festival called Lupercalia in February,in the start of springtime.
It's thought that as part of the
celebrations, boys wrote names of girls from a box. They can be boyfriend
and girlfriend during the festival and sometimes they'd get married.
Later , the church wanted to turn
this festival into a Christian celebration and decided to use it to
remember St Valentine too.
Today .St Valentine's day is us by people to express their feelings to those they loved.
This is the origen of Valenine's day
