Below you will find some trivia about the origin of Valentine’s Day and more information about our romantic presents for him.
Valentine’s Day Trivia
There is much confusion surrounding the origin of St. Valentine’s Day, as three different saints named Valentine are mentioned in Christian writing. The most famous was a priest who lived in third century Rome. Legend suggests that Emperor Claudius of Rome had outlawed the marriage of young people, as he believed single men made better soldiers. Valentine thought that this was unfair and so he defied Claudius and continued to marry young lovers. He was killed when Claudius found out about his disobedience. Another Saint Valentine was believed to have helped people escape from a brutal prison. He fell in love with the daughter of one of the prisoners and began to send her notes, which he signed "From Your Valentine".
Some people believe that the date of Valentine’s Day marks the death of one of these saints. Others claim that Valentine’s Day falls in February in homage to the ancient roman festival of Lupercalia. Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus. One of the customs of this festival was for young women to place their names in an urn. Bachelors would take it in turns to draw out a name and they became paired with the lady for a year. These pairings often led to marriage, but the tradition was outlawed in later years.
