The DARK ORIGIN STORY OF VALENTINE’S DAY | Why is St Valentine’s Day on 14 February |
Valentine's Day is celebrated as a day of love and affection, typically on February 14th each year. The origins of Valentine's Day are somewhat unclear, and several legends surround its history. One popular belief is that it commemorates the feast day of St. Valentine, a Christian martyr who lived during the Roman Empire.
One of the most famous legends associated with Valentine's Day is that of St. Valentine, a priest who defied Emperor Claudius II's decree that young men should remain single and not marry. St. Valentine continued to perform marriages for young couples in secret. When his actions were discovered, he was arrested and, eventually, executed on February 14th.
Over time, Valentine's Day evolved into a celebration of romantic love, and people around the world use the occasion to express affection to their partners, friends, and family. It has become a day to exchange cards, flowers, and gifts, as well as to spend quality time with loved ones. While the historical origins are rooted in Christian traditions, the modern celebration of Valentine's Day is secular and widely observed by people of various cultures and religions.
While there are historical legends associated with the origin of Valentine's Day, none of them are particularly dark in nature. The most commonly cited stories involve a Christian martyr named St. Valentine who defied a Roman emperor's decree on marriage, and there is no evidence to suggest a sinister or dark origin.
It's important to note that the celebration of Valentine's Day has evolved over the centuries and has become a more secular and commercialized holiday focused on expressing love and affection. The dark or sinister associations are likely products of myths, misconceptions, or creative storytelling rather than historical facts. If you have heard a specific dark origin story, it is likely a fictional or exaggerated account rather than a widely accepted historical explanation.
