3. History of St. Valentine's Day

There are varying opinions as to the origin of
Valentine’s Day. Some experts state that it
originated from St.Valentine, a Roman who was
martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died
on the February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that
had been devoted to love lotteries. In 496 A.D. Pope
Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour
St.Valentine.
Gradually, February 14 became the date for
exchanging love messages and St.Valentine
became the patron of lovers. The date was
marked by sending poems and simple gifts.
