St`Valentine`s
Day
February 14
It's ALL About LOVE
St. Valentine's Day has its origins in the Roman festival of
Lupercalia, observed on February 15. Lupercalia celebrated the
coming of spring in the Roman calendar (February was observed
later in the year than it is today). Lupercalia was associated with
the Roman gods Lupercus and Faunus. Lupercus watched over
shepherds and their flocks and the festival of Lupercalia became a
celebration intended to ensure the fertility of flocks, fields and

Valentine's Day started in the time of the Roman Empire. In ancient
Rome, February 14th was a holiday to honour Juno. Juno was the Queen
of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the
Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th,
began the Feast of Lupercalia.
In Roman mythology, Cupid (Latin Cupido, meaning "desire") is
the god of desire, affection and erotic love. He is often
portrayed as the son of the goddess Venus, with a father rarely
mentioned in ancient Roman sources. His Greek counterpart is
Eros. Cupid is also known in Latin as Amor ("Love").
The heart (♥) has long been used as a symbol to refer to the spiritual,
emotional, moral, and in the past, also intellectual core of a human
being. As the heart was once widely believed to be the seat of the
human soul, the word heart continues to be used poetically to refer to
the soul, and stylized depictions of hearts are used as prevalent
symbols representing love.
