💡What is the Valentine’s Day?
Valentine’s Day, celebrated on February 14, traces its origins to the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February to mark the start of spring and included fertility rites. In the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine’s Day. Legends suggest the holiday honors a Roman priest named Valentine, who was martyred for aiding persecuted Christians.
