History of Valentine's day
The earliest instance of Valentine's day stems from a pagan ritual that dates back to the 6th century BC. The festival was known as Lupercalia, an ancient Roman festival honoring Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. It was a sexually charged and violent rite that involved sacrificing animals like dogs and goats as a symbol of virility.
The priests would anoint themselves in the blood of these sacrificed animals and whip nearby women because it was believed that this would help in women's fertility and procreation.
This pagan festival was replaced by a Christian celebration to commemorate the execution of a priest named Valentine in the reign of Emperor Claudius II, who was marrying young soldiers. (It was prohibited during this time, as it was believed that the soldiers would get distracted).
The pageantry and wooing of Valentine's day started in 1400 AD in France, under the reign of King Charles VI of France. It was the 1800s in America that started the present-day ritual of commercialization - gift giving, card exchange, and loads of chocolates!
