on: july 20 2018 every year on february 14th, sweethearts and lovers all across the globe celebrate valentine’s day. but is this a recent celebration or has it been going on for years? you’ll be interested to know that yes, valentine’s day has been a celebration for centuries, although never quite as wrapped up in retail spending as it is today. valentine’s day through the ages ancient rome lupercalia was a pagan fertility festival, celebrated in ancient rome on the 13th, 14th and 15th of february. not quite the kind of celebration we participate in today, it involved young roman men stripping down to their birthday suits, and using strips of goat or dog skin to whip the behinds of young roman women, in order to improve fertility. a novel idea, not sure whether it actually worked though. around ad 197 valentine of terni, a christian, was martyred during the reign of emperor aurelian, but very little is known of his life. it is known that he was made bishop of interamna in ad 197, and met his end shortly after. it is said that he was imprisoned, tortured and then beheaded for his christian beliefs. it was later added that he died on february 14, but this is thought to be just convenient conjecture. recommended valentine’s gift ideas gold cards gold-dipped poker cards a playable deck of poker cards dipped in 24 karat gold. presented in an elegant high quality case made

was martyred during the reign of emperor claudius. he was a priest in the city, and it is said that he was arrested for helping prisoners. during his imprisonment he reformed his jailer by giving his daughter back her sight. a later tale tells of the priests love for the daughter, and he sent her a note signed “from your valentine”. another unlikely folklore version tells of claudius banning young men from getting married, because he thought this would make them better soldiers. valentine was known for secretly carrying out marriages, and subsequently arrested. like previous tales, valentine of rome is said to have died on february 14th. around ad 496 gelasius, the pope of the time, announced that 14th february would be a christian feast day, st valentine’s day. lupercalia was still very popular at this time, and it is thought that this was the church’s attempt at jumping on the bandwagon. around 1382 geoffrey chaucer penned a poem, that is thought to be the first time valentine’s day was linked to romance. it was written to celebrate richard ii of england’s engagement to anne of bohemia. one line “for this was on st valentine’s day/ when every fowl cometh there to choose his mate” was the link, but it is thought that it actually referred to 2nd may. 1400 ad a court was opened in paris on st valentine’s day 1400, known as the high court of love. it was opened to deal with affairs of the heart: marriage contracts, divorces, spouses that were being unfaithful, and those who had been beaten. a few years after this, the duke of orleans, charles, wrote the very first recorded valentine’s note. he wrote it while enjoying the facilities in the tower of london, after he was captured at the battle of agincourt in 1415. 1601 ad this is when william shakespeare brings the idea of valentine’s day into popular consciousness, by mentioning it in a lament spoken by ophelia, in the shakespearian play hamlet. the lines are as follows: “to-morrow is saint valentine’s day, all in the morning betime, and i a maid at your window, to be your valentine.” middle of the 18th century a popular pastime for sweethearts at this time was the exchanging of love-notes, a fore-runner to the valentine’s cards of today. these early valentine’s messages were made using lace and paper. 1797 saw the publication of “the young man’s valentine writer”, a useful compilation of romantic rhymes and messages. at this time, postal services were becoming more affordable for the common man, making the sending of an anonymous valentine’s day card possible. over the following years the popularity of sending valentine’s cards meant that mass-production was started, early 19th century, to coin in on the trend. 1847 ad the valentine’s tradition made its way across the atlantic when a lady called esther howland started producing her own versions, using a new material, which made the cards much cheaper, paper lace. 1913 ad all you cynics out there might think that was the end of the true meaning of valentine’s, when hallmark built, accessorised and jumped on their very own valentine’s bandwagon. they reinvented this romantic occasion by covering it in sugar-coated sweetness, and encouraging star crossed lovers to spend all their spare cash, on buying one of their hallmark valentine’s cards, and coming up with a whole host of valentine’s gift ideas. it has joined a number of other so called hallmark holidays that include mother’s day, father’s day and the recently introduced grandparents day. 1929 ad not a very romantic link but the st valentine’s day massacre forms a vital part of the history of st valentine’s day. it was a rather bloody and brutal attack, that was thought to have been ordered by al capone. five notorious chicago gangsters were lined up and viciously murdered with the ubiquitous gangster machine gun. mid 1980s the importance of this day of romance carries on with the sales of chocolate, flowers and cards taking a sizeable jump on and around february 14th. the diamond industry obviously saw a chance for profit, and introduced and marketed the giving of jewellery as an excellent valentine’s gifts idea. needless to say this “tradition” quickly took off. there you have it. the history that has turned a pagan celebration into the money spinning, retail dream that it is today. amazing facts and figures relating to
