Valentine's Day
Valentine’s Day has mysterious origins, blending Christian and ancient Roman traditions. It likely began with the Roman festival of Lupercalia, where men and women were paired by lottery. The holiday is named after Saint Valentine, a priest who defied Emperor Claudius II’s ban on marriages and secretly united young lovers. Today, Valentine’s Day is celebrated globally, with gifts exchanged in honor of this enigmatic saint.
