It’s coming up to that time of year again when we get to celebrate love. Valentine’s Day also called Saint Valentine’s Day originated in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, a fertility celebration commemorated annually. On February 15th, Pope Gelasius I, recast this pagan festival as a Christian feast day circa 496, declaring February 14 to be St. Valentine’s Day.
So, now you know the history, here are some of our Valentine’s Day ideas!
