History
of Valentine's Day
Every
February, across the country, chocolate, flowers, and gifts are
exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine.
But who is this mysterious saint and why has this custom come about?
Valentine's
Day started in the time of the Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, February
14th was a holiday to honor Juno. Juno was the Queen of the Roman
Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women
and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast
of Lupercalia.
The
lives of young boys and girls were strictly separate. However, one
of the customs of the young people was name drawing. On the eve
of the festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written
on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw
a girl's name from the jar and would then be partners for the duration
of the festival with the girl whom he chose. Sometimes the pairing
of the children lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall
in love and would later marry.
Under the rule of Emperor Claudius II Rome was involved in many
bloody and unpopular campaigns. Claudius the Cruel was having a
difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He
believed that the reason was that roman men did not want to leave
their loves or families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages
and engagements in Rome. The good Saint Valentine was a priest at
Rome in the days of Claudius II. He and Saint Marius aided the Christian
martyrs and secretly married couples, and for this kind deed Saint
Valentine was apprehended and dragged before the Prefect of Rome,
who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his
head cut off. He suffered martyrdom on the 14th day of February,
about the year 270. At that time it was the custom in Rome, a very
ancient custom, indeed, to celebrate in the month of February the
Lupercalia, feasts in honor of a heathen god. On these occasions,
amidst a variety of pagan ceremonies, the names of young women were
placed in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance
directed.
The pastors of the early Christian Church in Rome endeavored to
do away with the pagan element in these feasts by substituting the
names of saints for those of maidens. And as the Lupercalia began
about the middle of February, the pastors appear to have chosen
Saint Valentine's Day for the celebration of this new feast. So
it seems that the custom of young men choosing maidens for valentines,
or saints as patrons for the coming year, arose in this way.
