Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day, also known as Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is a cel-

ebration observed on February 14 each year. It is celebrated in many countries around the

world, although it is not a public holiday in most of them.

St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints

named Valentinus. Several martyrdom stories were invented for the various Valentines that

belonged to February 14, and added to later martyrologies. A popular hagiographical ac-

count of Saint Valentine of Rome states that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were per-

secuted under the Roman Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment, he healed

the daughter of his jailer, Asterius. An embellishment to this story states that before his ex-

ecution he wrote her a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell. Saint Valentine's Day is

an official feast day in the Anglican Communion, as well as in the Lutheran Church. The

Eastern Orthodox Church also celebrates Saint Valentine's Day, albeit on July 6 and July 30,

the former date in honor of the Roman presbyter Saint Valentine, and the latter date in

honor of Hieromartyr Valentine, the Bishop of Interamna (modern Terni).

The day was first associated with romantic

love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the

High Middle Ages, when the tradition of

courtly love flourished. In 18th-century Eng-

land, it evolved into an occasion in which

lovers expressed their love for each other

by presenting flowers, offering confection-

ery, and sending greeting cards (known as

"valentines"). In Europe, Saint Valentine's

Keys are given to lovers "as a romantic sym-

bol and an invitation to unlock the giver’s

heart", as well as to children, in order to

ward off epilepsy (called Saint Valentine's

Malady). Valentine's Day symbols that are

used today include the heart-shaped outline,

doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid.

Since the 19th century, handwritten valen-

tines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.
