The origin of Valentine’s Day on 14 February
We debunk the myths! The 14th of February is not just a marketing gimmick to get people to buy something. In fact, its history dates back to 3rd century Rome. According to tradition, Valentine was a Roman priest who secretly married soldiers according to the Catholic rite, something forbidden by the Roman authorities, who believed that those without family ties were better fighters. When he was discovered, Valentinus was imprisoned.
Once in prison, he fell in love with the jailer’s daughter, to whom he is said to have dedicated a passionate love letter signed with the pseudonym “Your Valentine”. The last letter he wrote before his martyrdom and beheading was dated 14 February, thus giving rise to the practice of exchanging letters between lovers on Valentine’s Day.
But what about Cupid, what about him? His story is summed up in a passionate love affair with the beautiful daughter of a king called Psyche. Venus, the mother of Cupid, the god of love, decided to intervene between them by giving her four almost impossible tasks. During one of them, she fell into a deep sleep from which Cupid woke her with a kiss of true love. Psyche’s relentless search for love led the gods to elevate her to such a status that they allowed her to marry, which had previously been forbidden.
Stories from the past, transferred to the immediate present. Love is something that will endure for centuries, which is why it is fascinating to celebrate it every day and especially on 14 February.
