The earliest celebration of St. Valentine was probably the Roman Catholic Church's attempt to Christianize the February 13-15 pagan celebration of fertility called Lupercalia. The modern American revival of Valentine's Day was the work of a greeting card manufacturer, so Valentine's day is "for" selling cards: it now ranks #2 of days with most cards given.

On February 14 around the year 278 A.D., Valentine, a holy priest in Rome in the days of Emperor Claudius II, was executed.

When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Valentine was arrested and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. The sentence was carried out on February 14, on or about the year 270

Celebrating love in any form. The holiday is often used to celebrate romantic love specifically, but it is based in a celebration of love between friends and such love is equally worth celebrating.
