Valentine’s Day – Why It’s So Special and How to Spice Your Day Up

By Elena Ognivtseva

Happy Valentine’s Day? What does that phrase mean? Why is Valentine’s Day special and how can you spice up your love life at least once a year?

The History of Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day was originally known as Saint Valentine’s Day. It was named after a Christian martyr named Valentine, and was commemorated by Pope Gelasius I in the year 500 A.D. Ironically, there were many Christian martyrs named Valentine, including Valentine of Rome, Valentine of Terni and another Valentine. How surprising to know that the origins of Valentine’s Day are not romantic at all, but have to do with Christian martyrdom!

When did the romantic perspective start to influence this annual celebration? As late as the 1300s apparently, since that is when romantic legends started to become associated with Saint Valentine. Legend painted Priest Valentine as intent on disobeying Emperor Claudius II’s degree that young men should stay single. Why, this rebellious priest went so far as to marry young men and women in secret ceremonies. Another romantic Valentine legend is that Valentine wrote the first “Valentine’s Day” card the night before his execution to his nameless beloved.

As far back as the late 1700s, books and journals were publishing sentimental verses for young men to give to their ladies, assuming that many young men had no idea how to compose their own poetry. This led the mechanical age of Valentine’s Day, in which poetry, greeting cards and gifts were created, packaged, given and cherished.

As worldwide romance blossomed, eventually the Roman mythological God of desire, Cupid, was introduced as the perfect representation of Valentine’s Day. This child of Venus and Mars shot his bow to inspire romance and love among mortal singles.

What can you do to spice up your next Valentine’s Day celebration? You could go for cute and modest, and decorate your house with hearts, ribbons and bows. You could bring home surprise flowers, while the other cooks a romantic dinner for two, complete with heart-shaped candles. Valentine’s Day works best when you surprise your lover with a grand, romantic gesture. Think outside the box and think with your heart, not your head!
