Valentine's Day is old. Very old. You see, the official St. Valentine's Day was set by Pope Gelasius all the way back in 496 AD. Even though Valentine's Day today is celebrated in the joyful spirit of love and affection the ancient history of that day is of quite a different nature. You see, what we're officially celebrating on St. Valentine's Day is St. Valentine's day of death. Not an ordinary death, but martyrdom. Read on and find out more! Not One, not Two but Three St. Valentines!Apparently, there is a very high frequency of heroic Valentines to have been executed in the past after which they attained sainthood because of their noble death sacrifice. Now, let's list these Valentines: St. Valentine No. 1 (most famous): Valentine of Rome: St. Valentine No. 2: Valentine of Terni St. Valentine No. 3 (relatively unknown): Now, there are a few tales about Valentine of Rome that might (only might) shed some light on the origin of the celebration of Valentine's Day. Here they come ... What Has Valentine of Rome Got to Do with Unending Love, Lush Flowers and Sweet Chocolate?Well, probably not much! Sorry! There are many myths and unanswered questions when it comes to unravelling the connection between the celebration of love on Valentine's Day and the sacrifice of St. Valentine. Historians have really been pulling out their hair in sheer frustration as the link is still quite foggy: What has St. Valentine got to do with the celebration of love? Well, there are a few romantic pointers in the legend of St. Valentine that may shed some light on this love puzzle: St. Valentine possibly wedded lovers in secret Unfortunately his role as secret 'love binder' was discovered and he was sentenced to death for disobedience of the Emperor. (Another less romantic legend has it that Valentine was executed by the Emperor not only because he refused to covert from Christianity to Roman paganism, but also because he tried to give the Emperor his medicine trying to convert him to Christianity.) St. Valentine possibly wrote the first Valentine card himself Before being executed, Valentine was to have written her a combined farewell love letter signed with the now all famous expression often seen on Valentines Day Cards, "From your Valentine" Romantic Ideas for Lovers on Valentines Day Perhaps Making February 14 a Day for Love Birds Was all a Due to a Big MisinterpretationBesides the hazy St. Valentine legends, there is one more possibility that might explain the relationship between love and Valentine's Day. Geoffrey Chaucer (a famous English poet of the Middle Ages) is probably the first person to set love and Valentine's Day in the same sentence or verse. In 1382 he was to have written an engagement poem for King Richard II of England and Anne of Bohemia that in everyday understandable English reads: Now most people though that he was referring to February 14th (Valentine's Day) but it is most likely that he referred to May 2, as this was not only the wedding day for King Richard II of England and Anne of Bohemia but also the saints' day for Valentine of Genoa. Besides, February 14th is thought to be a little bit too early, even for desperately lovesick birds to begin mating in the cold winter struck Britain.
