Before that, let’s find out where the word Valentine’s Day came from. Valentine’s Day comes from the name of Valentine. Valentine was a priest with kind-hearted Roman who married young couples against the wishes of Emperor Claudius II according to romantic legend. He was be imprisoned and headed for his deeds on the 14^th day of February.  If fact, if we search the name Valentine in the encyclopedia, we can find three Valentine. Meaning there is no exact identity of Valentine and all of them are martyrs.  One Valentine was falling in love to a woman while he was imprisoned. He always sent her a letter of his love until the day of his death. After his persecution, Valentine became Saint and was called Saint Valentine. Since his death was the day of Lupercalia which is a pagan festival of love or the day of love the February 14^th called the Valentine’s Day, a day for lovers and a day of special romantic sentiment and gift-giving among lovers.
