ORIGIN OF THE DAY OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP
The origin of the day of love and friendship dates back to the 3rd century in Rome. At that time, Emperor Claudius II prohibited the celebration of marriages for young people, considering that single people without families made better soldiers. However, a priest named Valentine opposed this order and began secretly celebrating marriages for young lovers. When Claudius II found out, he sentenced Saint Valentine to death on February 14, 270. Since then, Valentine’s Day has been commemorated every year.
