February 6, 2023 In the grander scheme of Valentine’s Day around the world, this celebration of love wasn’t always the commercial holiday we celebrate today — nor is it always presently accompanied by the classic American Valentine’s Day traditions of roses, cards, chocolates and inflated prix fixe menu prices.
Today is the “most romantic day of the year,” but February 14 wasn’t always about roses, chocolates and candlelit dinners. The day of hearts was named after Saint Valentine, a Catholic priest who lived in Rome in the 3rd century. What may not be familiar to many, however, is how Valentine celebrated love back then, because it was far from the grand expressions of emotion that characterize its modern-day version.
