Why We Celebrate Valentine’s Day

<p>With Valentine&rsquo;s Day around the corner, I decided to do some research into where this tradition comes from. Like many people, I already knew that the 14th February is the Feast of Saint Valentine, who was a Christian martyr. And I also knew that it is a (in England at least) traditional for people who are single to confess their feelings for someone on this day, or for couples to reaffirm their affection for each other.</p> <p>But what I did not understand was how these two things were related? How was a man who has been dead for centuries linked in any way to the chocolates, hearts and love messages of today?</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@thomas.barrett1998/why-we-celebrate-valentines-day-d4225aecee70"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
