But, does anyone know that how the culture of celebrating Valentine’s Day started? Every year on Feb 14 in the early 1500’s, people used to gather at one place and pinned the names of their loved ones on their sleeves. This was also known referred as “to wear your heart on your sleeve”. The Roman Emperor, Claudius II believed that only single men can be better soldiers and thus, put his foot down on this method of match making.
But, on the other hand, Bishop Valentine saved the day by conducting secret wedding ceremonies and later lost his head for his sins. Before that, he even penned down a love letter for all signing as “from your Valentine”. Later, in 1573, the romantic King Henry VIII declared Feb 14 as St. Valentine’s Day.
