Origins & History:
Have you ever heard of St. Valentine? He was a brave priest who defied Emperor Claudius II by performing secret marriages! His legacy is all about love and sacrifice. Some say Valentine’s Day has roots in the ancient Roman festival Lupercalia, which celebrated fertility. By the Middle Ages, poets like Chaucer turned this day into a celebration of courtly love, leading to the cherished tradition of exchanging handwritten notes by the 18th century.
