World Should Do!<\/a>Valentine’s Day<\/strong>, also called\u00a0Saint Valentine’s Day<\/strong>\u00a0or the\u00a0Feast of Saint Valentine<\/strong>,[1]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0is celebrated annually on February 14.[2]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0It originated as a Christian\u00a0feast day<\/a>\u00a0honoring one or two early\u00a0Christian martyrs<\/a>\u00a0named\u00a0Saint Valentine<\/a>\u00a0and, through later folk traditions, has become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of\u00a0romance<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0love<\/a>\u00a0in many regions of the world.[3]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

There are a number of martyrdom stories associated with various Valentines connected to February 14,[4]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0including an account of the imprisonment of Saint Valentine of Rome for ministering to Christians\u00a0persecuted under the Roman Empire<\/a>\u00a0in the third century.[5]<\/sup><\/a>[6]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0According to an early tradition, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his jailer.[7]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0Numerous later additions to the legend have better related it to the theme of love: an 18th-century embellishment to the legend claims he wrote the jailer’s daughter a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution;[8]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0another tradition posits that Saint Valentine performed weddings for Christian soldiers who were forbidden to marry.[6]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

The 8th century\u00a0Gelasian Sacramentary<\/a>\u00a0recorded the celebration of the Feast of Saint Valentine on February 14.[9]<\/sup><\/a>[10]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0The day became associated with romantic love in the 14th and 15th centuries when notions of\u00a0courtly love<\/a>\u00a0flourished, apparently by association with the “lovebirds<\/a>” of early spring. In 18th-century England, it grew into an occasion in which couples expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”). Valentine’s Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged\u00a0Cupid<\/a>. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.[11]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0In Italy,\u00a0Saint Valentine’s Keys<\/a>\u00a0are given to lovers “as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver’s heart”, as well as to children to ward off\u00a0epilepsy<\/a>\u00a0(called Saint Valentine’s Malady).[12]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Saint Valentine’s Day is not a public holiday in any country, although it is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion[13]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0and the Lutheran Church.[14]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0Many parts of the Eastern Orthodox Church also celebrate Saint Valentine’s Day on July 6 in honor of Roman presbyter Saint Valentine, and on July 30 in honor of\u00a0Hieromartyr<\/a>\u00a0Valentine, the Bishop of Interamna (modern\u00a0Terni<\/a>).[15]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n
