So for those people, the following humorous quotations about Valentine’s Day and love may be precisely what they’re seeking this February 14.
The History of Valentine’s Day
The history of Valentine’s Day is unclear. According to The History Channel, some historians believe that Valentine’s Day is celebrated in mid-February to mark the anniversary of St. Valentine’s death or burial.
Others believe that Valentine’s Day celebrations were started by the Catholic Church as a way to Christianize the pagan Lupercalia Festival, a fertility festival intended to mark the official start of spring with ritual cleansings.
Whatever the history of Valentine’s Day, each February 14 has become a highly commercialized holiday in North America and beyond, that’s intended to celebrate love and relationships.
