Your Guide to the Ultimate Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is on its way! February 14th has been a day for romance since the Middle Ages. Read on for the history of Valentine’s Day, ideas for great Valentine’s Day dates, our picks for movies to watch with your Valentine, and engagement ring ideas if you’re planning to propose on February 14th!The History of Valentine’s DayValentine’s Day has roots in both ancient Roman and Christian traditions. There were at least three different Catholic saints named Valentine or Valentinus, and all became martyrs. One legend suggests that in the third century in Rome, Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men because single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families. Saint Valentine, a priest, recognized the injustice of the decree and continued to perform marriage ceremonies in secret. When this was discovered, Claudius ordered the priest’s execution. Other legends say Saint Valentine tried to help Christians escape the harsh conditions of Roman prisons; one story suggests that Valentine was himself imprisoned, and sent the first “Valentine” after he fell in love with a girl who visited him during his imprisonment. He allegedly sent a letter to her before his death signed “From your Valentine.” The accuracy of these legends cannot be confirmed, but we know that by the Middle Ages, Saint Valentine was associated with romantic love and was one of the most popular saints in England and France.Valentine’s Day has become one of the biggest holidays for sending cards and giving jewelry as a gift to loved ones. It’s also a big day for taking your special someone on a special date. Valentine’s Day Date Ideas1. There’s always the classic dinner date.2. Want to avoid the crowd and the cost of dining out?
