Valentine's Day is celebrated on 14th February.

There are many stories about who St Valentine was and why his name is associated with this celebration of love and romance.

According to some, Valentine was a priest who fell foul of the Emperor Claudius for conducting marriage ceremonies between young soldiers and their beloveds. The Emperor preferred his legionnaires to remain single and focused on their fighting skills, undistracted by any notion of wedded bliss.

Another theory is that it’s all based on a pagan fertility festival in honour of the god Lupercus. Some believe that Geoffrey Chaucer was the first person to link Valentine’s Day to romance in his poem The Parlement of Foules written in the 1380's.

However it started, the Victorians really took hold of it, pretty cards came on to the market and now around a billion are sent out every year.
