VALENTINE'S DAY 2025
Valentine's Day (or Saint Valentine's Day) is observed on February 14 each year. It is celebrated in many countries around the world, mostly in the West, although it remains a working day in all of them unless if falls on a weekend. The original "St. Valentine" was just a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentine (in Latin Valentinus). All the modern romantic connotations were added several centuries later by poets.
The Tradition of Celebrating Love and the practice of Gifting items on Valentine's Day are steeped in a rich tapestry of History that spans Centuries and Cultures. The roots of Valentine's Day itself can be traced back to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, celebrated in the middle of February. This festival, which blended Pagan Rituals with the early threads of Christian Tradition, was a time of Fertility Rites and Pairing Women with Men by lottery. However, as the Roman Empire evolved, so too did the Customs associated with Love and Devotion.
Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten Valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.
Valentine's Day, celebrated annually on February 14th, stands as a testament to Love and Affection between Intimate Companions. This day, rich in History and Tradition, has evolved from Ancient Rituals to a Modern Celebration that spans across the globe, embracing all forms of Love. By the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine's Day, a day dedicated to Honouring Martyrdom and perhaps, more subtly, Romantic Love.
Yet, it wasn't until the Middle Ages that Valentine's Day began to be universally associated with Love in the Romantic Sense, with the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and other poets of the time, who celebrated Valentine's Day and is considered one of the first recorded associations of Valentine's Day with Romantic Love, plus in European culture, the tradition of expressing this Love through Gifts can be traced back to the Renaissance where Gifts were not only Expressions of Affection but also symbols of Wealth, Status, and Commitment.
