What makes Valentine's Day?
Tungod si Valentine nagkasal sa mga sundalong inlove? or tungod sa love letter ni Saint Valentine sa isa ka jailer's daughter?
The earliest possible origin story of Valentine's Day is the pagan holiday Lupercalia. The holiday celebrates fertility. Men would strip naked and sacrifice a goat and dog.
Lupercalia survived the initial rise of Christianity but was outlawed—as it was deemed “un-Christian”—at the end of the 5th century, when Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day. It was not until much later, however, that the day became definitively associated with love.
