Valentine’s Day 2025 falls on Friday, February 14th. It is a day to celebrate love and romance, and is often associated with gifts of flowers, chocolates, and jewelry.
The origins of Valentine’s Day can be traced back to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, which was held in mid-February. The festival was associated with the god of fertility, Faunus, and involved the sacrifice of a goat and a dog. The hides of the animals were then cut into strips and used to whip young women, who believed that this would make them more fertile.
