What is Valentine’s Day?
February 14th is celebrated as Valentine’s Day, also known as the Day of Lovers, a day when love becomes the main focus, and romantic gestures multiply around the world.
Couples usually exchange gifts, make marriage proposals, and share messages filled with love. At the same time, social media fills with romantic phrases and creative memes related to the celebration, many of which are full of humor and originality.
Origin of Valentine’s Day
Although today this date is known for its commercial focus, the origin of Valentine’s Day dates back to ancient Rome. According to tradition, a priest named Valentine disobeyed the orders of Emperor Claudius II, who had banned marriage between soldiers and their partners, arguing that single men were more effective in battle because they had no emotional distractions or family responsibilities.
Valentine defied this ban by secretly performing marriages, risking his own life for love. Upon discovering his actions, the emperor ordered his execution by decapitation. For this reason, Saint Valentine is venerated as the patron saint of lovers.
