May be we all should refresh our minds with a brief history of the celebration so we are not lost.

HISTORY OF VALENTINE’S DAY:
Catholic Church recognizes at least three
different saints named Valentine or Valentinus,
all of whom were martyred. One legend
contends that Valentine was a priest who
served during the third century in Rome. When
Emperor Claudius II decided that single men
made better soldiers than those with wives and
families, he outlawed marriage for young men.
Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree,
defied Claudius and continued to perform
marriages for young lovers in secret. When
Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius
ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have
been killed for attempting to help Christians
escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were
often beaten and tortured. According to one
legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent
the first “valentine” greeting himself after he fell
in love with a young girl–possibly his jailor’s
daughter–who visited him during his
confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that
he wrote her a letter signed “From your
Valentine,” an expression that is still in use
today. Although the truth behind the Valentine
legends is murky, the stories all emphasize his
appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and–most
importantly–romantic figure. By the Middle
Ages, perhaps thanks to this reputation,
Valentine would become one of the most
popular saints in England and France.
Lupercalia survived the initial rise of
Christianity and 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. During the Middle Ages, it
was commonly believed in France and England
that February 14 was the beginning of birds’
mating season, which added to the idea that
the middle of Valentine’s Day should be a day
for romance.
Valentine greetings were popular as far back as
the Middle Ages, though written Valentine’s
didn’t begin to appear until after 1400. The
oldest known valentine still in existence today
was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke
of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned
in the Tower of London following his capture at
the Battle of Agincourt . (The greeting is now
part of the manuscript collection of the British
Library in London, England.) Several years later,
it is believed that King Henry V hired a writer
named John Lydgate to compose a valentine
note to Catherine of Valois.
