Since Valentines Day is coming up I looked up where it came from?
If you have some other ideas please write them. this is kind of fun I mean where do we get our holidays from anyway?
What is the origin of Valentine’s Day?
The World Book Encyclopedia informs us: “Valentine’s Day comes on the feast day of two different Christian martyrs named Valentine. But the customs connected with the day . . . probably come from an ancient Roman festival called Lupercalia which took place every February 15. The festival honored Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage, and Pan, the god of nature.
I heard that Valentine's Day is set on Feb. 14 because that is the day that birds are believed to mate.
