Valentine’s Day, Why we celebrate it ?

Valentine’s Day, also known as St. Valentine’s Day, is a celebration on February 14 during which lovers show their love through cards and presents. It has been suggested that the celebration has its roots in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, which takes place in the middle of February. The event, which marked the arrival of spring, featured fertility rituals and the random matching of women and men. Pope Gelasius I forbade the observance of Lupercalia around the end of the fifth century, and is frequently credited for replacing it with St. Valentine’s Day, though the holiday’s exact ancestry is at best hazy. Up until the 14th century, Valentine’s Day was not recognised as a day of passion.
