RANDOM TIDBITS

Valentine's Day stems from the ancient Roman festival of
Lupercalia, a fertility celebration commemorated annually
on February 15. Pope Gelasius I recast this pagan festival
as a Christian feast day circa 496, declaring February 14
to be St. Valentine's Day.

***

Most scholars believe that the St. Valentine of the holiday
was a priest who attracted the disfavor of Roman emperor
Claudius II around 270. According to one legend, Claudius
II had prohibited marriage for young men, claiming that
bachelors made better soldiers. Valentine continued to
secretly perform marriage ceremonies but was eventually
apprehended by the Romans and put to death.

***

Another legend has it that Valentine, imprisoned by Claudius,
fell in love with the daughter of his jailer. Before he was
executed, he allegedly sent her a letter signed "from your
Valentine." Probably the most plausible story surrounding
St. Valentine is one not focused on Eros (passionate love)
but on agape (Christian love): he was martyred for refusing
to renounce his religion.

***********************************************************

It was not until the 14th century that this Christian feast
day became definitively associated with love. it was Chaucer
who first linked St. Valentine's Day with romance in 1381
when he wrote a poem in honor of the engagement between
England's Richard II and Anne of Bohemia. He associated the
occasion with the St. Valentine's feast day.

***

Over the centuries, the holiday evolved, and by the 18th
century, gift-giving and exchanging hand-made cards on
Valentine's Day had become common in England. Hand-made
valentine cards made of lace, ribbons, and featuring cupids
and hearts eventually spread to the American colonies.

***

The tradition of Valentine's cards did not become widespread
in the United States, however, until the 1850s, when Esther
A. Howland, a Mount Holyoke graduate and native of Worcester,
Mass., began mass-producing them.
