What does Valentine's Day mean?

Answer 1

Well, there are two meanings. If you have a special someone (wink wink nudge nudge) but they don't know you have feelings for them, it reminds you that they are probably giving a gift to someone else and not you. if they do know that you have feelings for them, they will probably avoid you to avoid getting embarrassed when you give them the present you worked too hard for.

And then, of course, if you don't have a special someone, that means you have no feelings and that you are going to die alone (lol).

Answer 2

The word comes from the name of St. Valentine of Rome, priest and martyr, who is the patron saint of lovers. The holiday "Valentine's Day" (St. Valentine's Day) is celebrated annually on February 14.

A valentine may be:

1. a card, message, token, or gift (usually amatory or sentimental but sometimes satirical or comical) sent by one person to another on Valentine's Day, sometimes anonymously.
2. a person, a sweetheart chosen or greeted on the day
3. a written or other artistic work, message, or essay expressing affection for something or someone: His photographic essay is a valentine to Paris.

Answer 3

Valentine's Day celebrates life and love for one another.

Valentine's Day is a special love day for everyone, and who they love. It's a day when you can give them a gift and tell them that you've always loved them.

The English phrase 'Valentine's Day' means a day for the exchange of tokens of affection.

Answer 4

Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine was a Catholic feast day honoring one or more early saints named Valentinus. Saint Valentinus is believed to have been martyred for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians.

It has now largely become a secular day to celebrate "love" (which may mean different things to different people or in different social situations).

Many businesses now take advantage of it to increase sales of greeting cards, flowers, candy, etc., making it one of the most hopelessly commercialized holidays there is.

Answer 5

St. Valentine's Day is the feast day of St. Valentine, celebrated on February 14 in each year. St. Valentine is considered to be the patron saint of lovers, and so his feast day was considered an opportunity for people to express their love by cards or notes. These cards or notes are called "valentines". As with a number of holiday practices, the giving of valentines has become highly commercialized and aimed at little children who are encouraged to purchase tacky commercially made valentines and give them to everyone in their school class (you can't leave anyone out or they might be offended!) with no sense of feeling whatsoever. Adult people, for whom a day for the expression of love has meaning, may celebrate it by having a special supper, giving flowers or sweets, or giving valentines with a sincere message, not the stupid ones produced for children.

Answer 6

Valentine's Day goes as far back as 270 AD and came from celebrations from ancient Christian and Romans. One legend tells that the holiday began from the Roman festival of Lupercalia, a fertility celebration, but when Christianity took over pagan holidays were renamed for early Christians martyrs. In 496 AD the pope turned Lupercalia into a Christian feast day. He proclaimed that it was to honor of Saint Valentine a Roman martyr from the 3rd century. According to the Catholic encyclopedia there were three early Christian saints by the name of Valentine. One was a priest in Rome and another was a bishop in Terri. Nothing is known about the third except he died in Africa. The story of Saint Valentine is about a bishop who held secret marriage ceremonies of soldiers in Claudius II who banned marriage for young men. He felt that marriage made men weak and Valentine was arrested for performing the marriages and excecuted. Thus, February 14 became a day for lovers and was annually observed by young Romans. In medieval France and England it was believed that birds mated on February 14 and the image of birds became the symbol of lovers in poems dedicated to the day. By the 18th century Valentines Day had become common in England and handmade Valentine cards, ribbons, and hearts were created. This spread to the American colonies, but it wasn't until 1840 that greeting cards were sold in the United States.
