More informationSupposedly, Valentine, a priest from Ternia, later canonized as a martyr, was executed on February 14 in 269 AD. The offense of which he was accused: He was said to have performed illegal marriage ceremonies according to the Christian rite. A far more credible explanation is that in the early days of Christianization, it was much easier to win people over to the new faith if they were left with their old pagan celebrations and feast days. Often these were even incorporated into Christian customs.
In the early 4th century in the Roman Empire, Lupercalia, the feast of Juno, wife of the supreme god Jupiter, was celebrated on February 14. Juno was especially revered as the protector of marriage, and on her feast day the giving of flowers is also said to have been common. In addition, couples were said to be drawn to each other as fiancés.
In another variation, a girl was supposed to marry whoever crossed her path first on the morning of February 14 (if that person was unmarried).
Christianity, struggling to establish itself, virtually appropriated pagan customs by attributing them to "Saint St. Valentin" and chose February 14 - the day of his execution - as Valentine's Day.
Even the Kirchenlexikon confirms this variant:
"The custom of giving each other flowers on Valentine's Day goes back a long way: in ancient Rome, the goddess Juno, the protector of marriage and family, was commemorated on February 14. Women were given flowers on this day."
A direct connection of flower-giving to Valentine of Terni, however, could not be uncovered until today.
Since the 15th century, Valentine's couples have been formed in England to send each other small gifts or love poems.
The association with flower gifts may date back to the wife of poet Samuel Pepys, who responded to Pepys' love letter with a bouquet of flowers in 1667. From then on, the association of letter and flowers became a custom in upper English society. English emigrants then brought this custom to the "New World", where it spread in a short time.
But Europe has also developed its own customs around Valentine's Day.
For example, in Italy, lovers usually meet at bridges or bodies of water, while in France, Belgium and England, Valentines are drawn for a year and are then considered engaged.
In Finland, Valentine's Day is celebrated as "Friendship Day", when people send cards or send small gifts - usually anonymously - to those they find sympathetic.
In Deutschland hat sich der Valentinstag erst nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg durch die US-Soldaten verbreitet. 1950 veranstaltete man in Nürnberg den ersten Valentinsball.
Richtig durchgesetzt hat er sich aber erst durch die verstärkt einsetzende Werbung der Floristen und der Süßwarenindustrie. Das Verschenken von Blumensträußen gehört längst zum Pflichtprogramm. Aber auch der Geschenkehandel profitiert inzwischen vom "Tag der Liebenden".
Gerade im Internet finden sich auf den Valentinstag spezialisierte Shops, deren Bandbreite von romantischen, nützlichen bis kitschigen Geschenken reicht.
In diesem Sinne: wir wünschen allen Verliebten einen wunderschönen Valentinstag!
Du möchtest gerne spätestens 2025 den Valentinstag zu zweit feiern?
