What is the History of Valentine’s Day?
A long time ago, many Christian people were named Valentine. The ones celebrated on February 14 are Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. Valentine of Rome was a priest who died for his faith in 269. He was made a saint by the Pope and his remains were kept in a church in Rome. The skull of Saint Valentine is now kept in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome. Valentine of Terni was a bishop who died in 273. His remains are in a different place in Italy, in the Basilica of Saint Valentine in Terni. People in many churches and monasteries in Europe knew about these two people. Today, people still celebrate Valentine’s Day as a day to show love and affection to others.
Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14th and is named after a Christian saint named Valentine. There were actually several saints named Valentine, but not much is known about them. In some Christian denominations, such as the Anglican and Lutheran Churches, Valentine’s Day is considered a day to remember Saint Valentine. However, in the Catholic Church, Saint Valentine’s feast day was removed from the main calendar because not much is known about him besides his name and the fact that he was buried on February 14th. Instead, some local and national calendars still celebrate his feast day.
Some people in Malta and Catholics who follow an older calendar still celebrate Valentine’s Day as a feast day for a saint, and the Eastern Orthodox Church also has special days to honor two different saints named Valentine. One is recognized on July 6 and the other on July 30.
