once upon a time (true story) st. valentine had this idea for young men who didn't want to go to war. the main criteria was that if you were male, and single, you would be sent off to war.
so this st. valentine gathered the young men one night and told them to bring their loved one (or the men had to literally find a young lady eligible and willing to be their partner) and st. valentine married them all off secretly....
the whole thing wasn't really about giving girls chocolate and roses... that's just how companies take the opportunity of a holiday to make cash, but hey, people around the world enjoy this special occasion because it gives them courage to do something they wouldn't normally do on a regular day

In historic Rome, February grew to grow to be into the respected commencing up of spring and grew to grow to be into considered a time for purification. properties have been ritually cleansed via making use of sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and one among those wheat observed as spelt for the time of their interiors.
