Where Does Valentine’s Day Come From

By: Cristian Moralez

Why is every body getting gifts, roses, big bears and  chocolate on February 14th? It seems like an easy question to answer, but do you actually know the history of Valentine’s Day?

Valentine’s Day came from the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia. An annual three-day ritual believed to ward off evil spirits and increase fertility, that was held on February 13th to 15th.
