Why is Valentine’s Day Celebrated on February 14th?
Valentine’s Day is celebrated across many countries worldwide with great enthusiasm and joy. This special day highlights the importance of love, and despite the belief in its commercial origins, its history dates back much further, to the 3rd century in Rome, with the death of Valentine, a priest sentenced for secretly performing marriages for young lovers.
This day has adopted many names: Valentine’s Day, Lovers’ Day, or the Day of Love and Friendship. But where did this particular celebration originate?
This holiday, embraced by the Catholic Church, dates back to the 3rd century in Rome, where a priest named Valentine opposed Emperor Claudius II’s decree that banned marriages for young people, believing that single soldiers would be better warriors without family ties.
In opposition to the emperor’s decree, Valentine secretly performed marriages for young lovers, which led to him being sentenced to death on February 14th, 270.
This act of love and courage is why Valentine’s Day is commemorated every year.
