Valentine’s Day celebrates love. It is a day to exchange flowers, candy, and greeting cards with your husband or wife, or someone else you desire. It is a popular day to become engaged and to get married. Historians argue about the earliest roots of Valentine’s Day. Many say it is linked to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, which was observed on the 15th of February. That day celebrated the coming of spring and female fertility. Then, around 1,500 years ago, Christians supposedly began to celebrate the feast day of St. Valentine on February 14. However, there are several Saint Valentines and several stories about them.
