I always heard it was about a Christian guy in ancient Rome called Valentine who helped people get illegally* married 🤔
*(by roman law, the emperor guy thought single bros fought in the army better like what)
edit: both of those stories could be true but i’m just saying you left out part of it skycedar
↩ repost
Reminder that Valentines Day is actually about a Catholic saint who was martyred and had his heart ripped out
How romantic
Edit: (and then it got merged with another holiday and a poem was written about it and it turned into what we know today)
Oh yeah that’s also part of it, all of Christianity used to be one denomination (Catholicism, everything split in the 1500s) (none of the other denominations do saints except Orthodox but they also broke off of Catholicism) and he helped with that but was caught and martyred for his faith. The day itself is his feast day
Sobs the story is so scattered
(he as in Valentine helped with the marriages)
lol it is kinda a weird holiday
It rly is XD I do not understand why people like it so much tbh
