The SECRETS Behind Valentine's Day - (Your Partner Will HATE This)
Did you have a good Valentine’s Day? No? Well too bad. Here’s why you’ve been roped into buying unnecessary things for your partner.
______
Valentine's Day, cloaked in the guise of modern love, traces its roots to the raucous Roman festival of Lupercalia.
Here, in a celebration that makes modern dating apps look tame, young Romans engaged in fertility rites that included animal sacrifices and, of all things, matchmaking by lottery.
Fast forward to the third century, and we meet a defiant priest named Valentine.
This man, in a bold move against Emperor Claudius II's ban on young soldiers marrying, decided love trumps law. Secret marriages were Valentine's specialty, until his execution made him a martyr of love.
As centuries turned, Lupercalia's pagan edges softened under the Christian cloak, morphing into a day honoring Saint Valentine.
