Just in case some of you forgot, tomorrow, yes, tomorrow is Valentines Day. Don’t forget your significant other.
Although this holiday of cards, candy, and kisses may seem like a fairly recent invention, it has been around for much longer. Valentine’s Day was named after St. Valentine, a Christian martyr during the third century. Scholars speculate that the church chose the date in order to Christianize a pagan holiday. The ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia began on February 15 each year, and it celebrated fertility and the founders of Rome.
