Why is Valentine’s Day celebrated?
Valentine’s Day has roots that stretch back to ancient Rome. What began as Lupercalia, a mid-February festival celebrating fertility and the arrival of spring, gradually evolved into something quite different. As Christianity spread, the day became linked to Saint Valentine, a martyr known for performing secret marriages when such unions were forbidden.
By the Middle Ages, Valentine’s Day had taken on a more romantic spirit, inspired by tales of courtly love and immortalised through poetry. Over time, it grew into a global celebration of love, affection, and appreciation.
Today, Valentine’s Day is a reminder that love, in all its forms, is worth celebrating. And whether you’re sharing it with a partner, friends, or just your favourite meme page, one thing’s for sure: the Internet’s love for Valentine’s Day humour is stronger than ever.
