Here are some fun facts about February 14th: Valentine’s Day.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Every year we celebrate Valentine\u00b4s Day, the day of love and friendship, but how did this begin?<\/p>\n

According to Brock Built<\/a>, Emperor\u00a0Claudius II had banned marriage because he thought it distracted young soldiers.<\/p>\n

After this happened, the most common founder known as Saint Valentine started illegally marrying couples until he was caught and sentenced to death, which came on February 14th.<\/p>\n

Since that day, young couples used to visit his grave taking candy and flowers, starting a tradition we continue to practice to this day.<\/p>\n

However, it was not until the 17th century when people started exchanging cards and letters; in A.D. 496, Pope Gelasius declared February 14 as Valentine’s Day. Cards weren’t mass-produced until the 1840s.<\/p>\n
