The connection between Cupid and Valentine's Day is a modern one. Of course in modern days we know that Cupid was the Roman personification of Romantic Love, and who better to represent the lover's day?
It should be noted that prior to Chaucer, Valentine's Day had no particular connection to romantic interests. Additionally, while the Roman festival of Lupercalia, which took place from 13-15 February, was a feast for fertility, it was local only to Rome and had nothing to do with Cupid.
