Happy Valentine’s Day<\/p><\/div>\n
The beginning of Valentine\u2019s Day starts in the 5th<\/sup> century Rome with Pope Gelasius I.<\/p>\n It begins with the Pope writing an emotional review of the pagan celebration of Lupercalia in Rome.<\/p>\n In order to get rid of these violent celebrations in the Christian city, the Pope brings about the feast of St Valentine, which is now known as Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n The feast is to honour one of the first Christian martyrs in the history of Christianity. So we can say it is a Christian Holiday.<\/p>\n After refusing to give up his Christian faith, the 3rd<\/sup>-century Roman soldiers kill Valentinus.<\/p>\n Pope Gelasius I \u00a0decides to honour this act of faith and love by replacing Lupercalia with the feast of Saint Valentine later Known as Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n The feast ideology was to bring ideas of love, marriage and fertility.<\/p>\n In a more defining argument, Geoffrey Chaucer links the festival with the idea of love, courtship and affection.<\/p>\n Furthermore, he states that St Valentine is a martyr because he was marrying Christian couples.<\/p>\n To explain Valentine\u2019s day linking with the heart.\u00a0 He states that St Valentine would give the men heart pieces to remind them of their marriage promises.<\/p>\n In connection with the \u201c your Valentine\u201d card-giving tradition, Saint Valentine left a note to the daughter of his jailer after healing her from blindness.<\/p>\n After the famous author, William Shakespeare\u2019s writings on the day. It significantly rose in popularity between the\u00a0 16th<\/sup> and the 17th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n This brings us to the commercialization of the day by retailers and a World-wide rise in the popularity of the day of love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With Valentine\u2019s Day around the corner, most online casino gamblers will be looking for the best gift and date.
