13 of 14 The Origins of Valentine’s Day
February 14th was first a pagan feast day which was later changed by Pope Gelasius 1 in AD 496 to a Christian feast day to honour Valentine. There are many legends surrounding this day claiming Saint Valentine as a priest who was martyred in AD 269 for his kindness and love to the persecuted Christians in Rome. Then later in the 14th and 15th centuries, Valentine’s Day became associated with romantic love.
