    Valentine’s Day began as a Christian feast day honoring Saint Valentine—a 3rd‑century martyr reputed to have secretly married couples despite a ban by Roman authorities. 

    Over time, his story mingled with legends and literary influences, especially from medieval poets like Geoffrey Chaucer who linked the day with romance and the beginning of birds’ mating season. 

    This blend of martyrdom, myth, and poetic imagination gradually transformed February 14 from a religious commemoration into a modern celebration of love and affection. 

    Today, the holiday is marked by the exchange of cards, flowers, chocolates, and other tokens that express romantic or platonic love.
