How St. Valentine's Day appeared – history and interesting facts
There is no exact answer to this question. There are many versions about who and what this Valentine was and how Valentine's Day came about. At least 12 figures are known, including a Spanish hermit and even a woman named Valentina, who could have inspired the creation of this holiday.
Public opinion trends towards the version that he was one of the two Roman preacher boys in the 3rd century, who submitted to martyrdom on February 14, 269. It was this date that went down in history as St. Valentine's Day. It is also noted in Gelazian sacramentaries 8th century, the oldest Western liturgical book.
But how is it related to love and romance? According to one of the legends, the Roman emperor Claudius II of Gotha, seeking to recruit soldiers for the Roman army, forbade young men to marry so that longing for family and home would not interfere with their military skills. Instead, Saint Valentine, who was a priest and a doctor, disregarding the imperial decree, continued to marry couples in love, for which he was exposed and imprisoned.
In the 14th and 15th centuries, February 14 became associated with romance inspired by polite and noble courtly love. In 18th century England, it grew into an event when lovers declared to each other, gave flowers, sweets, and sent greeting cards (known as «valentines»). Traditional symbols of St. Valentine's Day remain hearts, doves, various depictions of winged Cupid, the god of love.
In the 19th century, it became popular to give hand-signed valentines, and in Italy – keys, as a romantic hint to open the heart of the giver.
When is Saint Valentine's Day celebrated?
Valentine's Day is international, but is not a national holiday. Every year it is celebrated all over the world on the same day – February 14. Europeans began to celebrate Valentine's Day in the 15th century, Americans – from the end of the 18th century.
How Valentine's Day is celebrated in different countries of the world
Every country has its own interesting traditions. In Japan, for example, it is customary for girls to give gifts on February 14, and only chocolate products. It is interesting that there is a chocolate for each social role: Giri Choco is given to colleagues, the boss, acquaintances, Tomo – to friends, and Honmei Choco – only for loved ones. Instead, men congratulate women on March 14 and also treat them with sweets, but from white chocolate.
Italians give each other cakes decorated with doves and hearts, so February 14 is called Sweet Day in Italy. It is also customary to give sweets in America – congratulatory inscriptions are displayed on white and red lollipops, which symbolize passion and love. The French prefer jewelry as a gift to a loved one.
In the Netherlands, on Valentine's Day, women can confess their love to men and propose. And if the man refuses, he must present the woman a red silk dress.
In Britain, lovers usually go out for a romantic dinner, so restaurants are full on Valentine's Day. But in the countries of the Islamic world, due to religious views, Valentine's Day is not celebrated.
As for Ukrainians, we support the tradition of congratulating loved ones on the holiday and giving gifts. In Ukraine, as in the whole world, Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14.
