The origins of Valentine's Day date back to anceint Rome.  February 14th was a holiday to honor Juno, the Goddess of women and marriage. During the reign of Emperor Claudius, St. Valentine, a Roman priest, was martyred for refusing to give up his faith.  He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries.  In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor St. Valentine.

Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers and candy.  Valentine's Day and all that it has come to represent has been celebrated throughout history.

Today Valentine's Day is celebrated around the world and in many different languages.
