VALENTINE DAY

 




The history of Valentine’s Day

The holiday is celebrated in Britain since the XVII century. The origins of Valentine’s Day are rooted in the history of the Roman Empire, when one of the rulers, Claudius II, forbade marriages, because it was believed that the best soldiers are single men. It was then that the Christian priest Valentine began to conduct the engagements of people secretly.

Valentine was immediately arrested and sentenced to death, as soon as the ruler learned about what he did. Before the execution, on the night of February 14, his woman received the last note from the priest with the signature «Your Valentine».

Also, the story tells that the pagans celebrated the onset of spring already in mid-February. This time was considered the best for marriages.

«Parlement of Foules» («Bird Parliament»), the first poem about the Valentine’s Day, was written in 1382 by English poet Geoffrey Chaucer.
