The holiday that The 14th of February celebrated by many people around the world. Presumably named after one of the two early Christian martyrs named Valentine - Valentin Interamnsky and Valentin of Rome
In the late Middle Ages in France and England, the life of St. Valentine gradually began to acquire legends associated with secret wedding of couples in love.
According to golden legend, in those distant and dark times, the imperious and cruel Roman emperor Claudius II came to the conclusion that a single man, not burdened with a wife and family, would be better off fighting on the battlefield for the glory of the king, and forbade men to marry, and women and girls to marry their beloved men.
AND Saint Valentine was common field doctor and a priest who sympathized with the unfortunate lovers and secretly from everyone, under the cover of night, consecrated the marriage of loving men and women. Soon the activities of St. Valentine became known to the authorities, and he was put in prison, sentenced to death. In conclusion, Saint Valentine met the warder's beautiful daughter, Julia.
A priest in love before his death wrote a declaration of love to his beloved girl - valentine , where he spoke about his love, and signed it "Your Valentine". It was read after he was executed, and the execution itself took place February 14, 269.
So, according to the Golden Legend, and currently Valentine's Day is celebrated The 14th of February.

From the history of the holiday
- Valentine's Day - the holiday of lovers - has been celebrated on February 14 in Europe since the 13th century, in the USA since 1777, in Russia since the early 1990s. But why is it still a holiday for lovers? There are many beautiful legends about this. The British, for example, believe that from February 14, nature turns to spring, and the mating season begins for birds, even an old English proverb says: "On Valentine's Day, all the birds in the air pair up." There is another confirmation that February 14 is Valentine's Day. The Holy Great Martyr Valentine lived in the 3rd century in the city of Ternii (Roman Empire). He was a clergyman, engaged in scientific research and private medical practice. During the campaign of Emperor Claudius II of Gotha against the Christians, Bishop Valentine was repressed and beheaded on February 14, 269. Sources say that the arrest of Bishop Valentine was due to the fact that the Roman emperor did not allow the soldiers of his legions to marry, and Valentine secretly married legionnaires and their lovers. While awaiting execution in one of the Roman prisons, Valentine wrote a letter to the daughter of his jailer and signed: "Your Valentine." Then he healed her miraculously from blindness, but was still executed. The date of the execution coincided with a Roman celebration in honor of Juno, the goddess of love. Since then, every year on February 14, people remembered Valentine and arranged a holiday for all lovers.
- Cooing doves and hearts pierced by Cupid's arrow became symbols of Valentine's Day.
- On this day, girls and boys gathered together, wrote names on pieces of paper and threw these leaves into a jug, then each pulled out one piece of paper and recognized the name of their loved one. In some countries, there is still a custom to choose Valentines (of both sexes) on February 14 for the whole next year.
- By February 14, a lot of valentine greeting cards are being released, from simple ones with touching images to folding ones. And in the old days there were even postcards decorated with gold and lace.
- Italians consider it their duty to give sweets to their loved ones on this day. This day is called in Italy - sweet.
- The gallant French were the first to introduce love messages - quatrains.
- Finns celebrate Love Day on February 14 by giving each other gifts in the shape of a heart. And also on this day, gifts are made to mothers, since there is no women's day like March 8 in Finland.
- In Japan, they hold a competition for the loudest love message. Boys and girls rise to the platform and take turns shouting with all their might - whatever they want - to their beloved. The winner receives a prize.
- The English also send love messages to their animals, especially dogs and horses.
- In America, 108 million roses are sold these days, mostly red ones, and 692 million dollars are spent on candy these days!
- Hearts for the holiday can be sewn, sculpted, painted, knitted and even baked.
- The material for making hearts is diverse: beads, shells, feathers, dry flowers, pieces of fabric, fur ...
- A significant part of the "valentines" are anonymous and without a return address, written with the left hand or from right to left, which makes the message mysterious. But after the holiday...
- Let's get to work. We will need: colored paper (preferably double-sided), scissors, glue, thread, a straw or other hard material (wire, a straw for a cocktail or juice). 1. From red paper, cut out two strips 29 cm long and 1 cm wide. From yellow paper, cut out two strips 26 cm long and 1 cm wide. From green paper, cut out two strips 23 cm long and 1 cm wide. From blue paper colors, cut out two strips 20 cm long and 1 cm wide. 2. Now strips of different lengths and different colors are connected by edges and glued. You get two rainbows. 3. Next, we connect the ends of the "rainbows", laying a thread and a straw between them. 4. Now, having pulled the thread well, we connect the other ends of the "rainbows", also laying a thread and a straw between them. Got a heart. The straw will hold the shape of the heart, the excess length of the straw must be cut off. But the extra length of the thread will still come in handy for us - we will make a loop so that the craft can be hung. 5. It's time for a twist. In the middle of the heart, on a thread and a straw, we glue a photograph of a loved one so that the object of adoration is clear. You can post your photo to remind you of yourself. And you can stick a photo of yourself on one side, and a photo of your loved one on the other. We wish you all good luck and love!
- There are two holidays in February. For one of them, for Valentine's Day, we want to offer this homemade product. After all, a heart made with your own hands and presented to a loved one will be even more expensive, and the gift itself will be more pleasant.
- Prepare two “heart” blanks from paper of different colors.
- 2. Cut off the top of the blanks, as shown in the figure (for one blank, on the right side, for the second, on the left side).
- 3. Cut the blanks into strips of equal width (not completely!). Cut one piece lengthwise.
- 4. Cut the second workpiece across.
- 5. Weave the cut halves in a checkerboard pattern. You will get a heart of two closely related parts.
- I congratulate you on the occasion!

VALENTINE'S DAY
Valentine's Day has been celebrated on February 14 in Europe since the 13th century In the USA - since 1777 In Russia - since the early 1990s
The English consider February 14 nature turns to spring, and the mating season begins for birds, even the old English saying goes: "On Valentine's Day, all the birds in the air pair up."
In the III century AD. Roman emperor Claudius II issued a decree forbidding people to marry. He believed that marriage kept men at home, and their destiny was to be good soldiers and fight for Rome. But there was a man who, despite the cruel ban, secretly consecrated the unions of lovers. The young Christian priest was named Valentine.
Having discovered these "anti-state" marriages, the emperor ordered that the violator be imprisoned and then executed. While in prison, Valentine saw the jailer's daughter. Young people fell in love with each other. Before his execution, on February 14, 270, he sent the girl a short farewell note signed: "From Valentine", which later came to mean eternal affection and fidelity. And the date of death, the priest, who betrothed lovers, despite severe obstacles, and who did not see his happiness, remained forever in the memory of people. His ashes were buried in the Church of Saint Praxidis in Rome.
The date of the execution coincided with a Roman celebration in honor of Juno, the goddess of love. Since then, every year on February 14, people remembered Valentine and arranged a holiday for all lovers.

History
The history of St. Valentine's Day, as suggested in the 17th century in France by the historian Tillemont, and later in the 18th century in England by Butler and Douce, originates from the Lupercalia of Ancient Rome. Lupercalia is a fertility festival in honor of the goddess of “feverish” love, Juno Februata, and the god Faun (Luperk is one of his nicknames), the patron saint of herds, which was celebrated annually on February 15.

In the ancient world, infant mortality was very high. In 276 BC. e. Rome almost died out as a result of an "epidemic" of stillbirths and miscarriages. The oracle informed that in order to increase the birth rate, a rite of corporal punishment (flogging) of women with the help of sacrificial skin is necessary. People who, for whatever reason, had few or no children were regarded as cursed and resorted to mystical rites in order to gain the ability to bear children saints. Every year, on February 15, a festival called "Lupercalia" (lat. lupa - "she-wolf") was held here, during which animals were sacrificed. Whips were made from their skins. After the feast, the young people took these whips and ran naked through the city, hitting the women they met on the way with the whip. Women willingly set themselves up, believing that these blows would give them fertility and easy childbirth. This became a very common ritual in Rome, in which even members of noble families participated. There is evidence that even Mark Antony was a Luperk.

Saint Valentine and the history of the holiday
In 494, Pope Gelasius I attempted to ban the Lupercalia. The Orthodox Encyclopedia notes that “it seems more likely that the celebration of this day replaced the Lupercalia, the ancient Roman feast of female fertility, which fell in mid-February”

At the same time, historians William Friend and Jack Oruch (which was published in 1967-1981) argue that the idea that there was an ordinary replacement of a pagan cult by a Christian celebration, as was the case earlier with Christmas, is nothing more than conjecture, which arose in the 18th century from the antiquarians Alban Butler, who compiled the so-called. The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs and Other Principal Saints, and Francis de Sales on the basis of the complete absence of reliable data on Valentine, therefore an attempt was made to artificially link the writings of the XIV century with the events that took place in the III century. Scientists Michael Keillor and Henry Kelly also believe that there is no evidence to point to a connection between modern romantic narratives and the Roman festival.

Legends of Saint Valentine
In the late Middle Ages in France and England, the life of St. Valentina gradually began to acquire legends associated with the secret wedding of couples in love. According to the Golden Legend, in those distant and dark times, the imperious and cruel Roman emperor Claudius II came to the conclusion that a single man, not burdened with a wife and family, would be better off fighting on the battlefield for the glory of Caesar, and forbade men to marry, and women and girls - marry the men you love. And St. Valentine was an ordinary field doctor and priest who sympathized with the unfortunate lovers and secretly from everyone, under the cover of night consecrated the marriage of loving men and women. Soon the activities of St. Valentine became known to the authorities, and he was put in prison, sentenced to death. In conclusion, Saint Valentine met the warden's beautiful daughter, Julia. Before his death, the priest in love wrote a declaration of love to his beloved girl - a valentine, where he spoke about his love, and signed it "Your Valentine". It was read after he was executed, and the execution itself took place on February 14, 269.

According to another legend, the Roman patrician Valentine, who was a secret Christian who also converted his servants to the new faith, once performed a wedding ceremony for two of them. By denunciation or by coincidence, all three were detained by the guards. Valentine, as a member of the upper class, could escape death, but not his servant. Then, wanting to encourage the doomed fellow believers, Valentine writes them letters in the form of red hearts, meaning Christian love. A blind girl was supposed to send messages to the newlyweds, but unexpectedly Valentine himself came to the dungeons, who persuaded the guards to let his servants go in exchange for his life. Before entering the arena of death, Valentine handed over the last letter, consecrated by faith and kindness, to a blind girl, who after that received her sight and became a beauty.

modern celebration
At the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century, on the pages of the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron, a description was given to Valentine's Day, according to which February 14 was rather not a holiday, but the day of a kind of ritual, the participants of which throughout the year felt its consequences. In 1969, the celebration of the day of memory of St. Valentine, as a general church saint, was discontinued, and his name was removed by the Roman Catholic Church during the transformation of the calendar of saints, due to the fact that there is no exact information about this martyr, except for his personal name and the tradition of beheading with a sword .. Currently, Roman On this day, the Catholic Church celebrates the memory of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril and Methodius, the Enlighteners of the Slavs, and this holiday has become optional.

In the Orthodox Church, the memory of Valentine, the presbyter of Rome, whose name is usually associated with the celebration of St. Valentine's Day, is celebrated on July 19 (old style - in old calendar churches, new style - in new calendar). The patrons of well-being in marital relations in Rus' were considered Peter and Fevronia of Murom.
