Introduction to Valentine’s Day

The complete and precise history of Valentine’s Day is intertwined with legend, and the Catholic Church recognizes at least three saints who were martyred, leading to various tales about the holiday’s origins.

 

In the 3rd century AD, during the early Sasanian Empire in Iran, the Roman Emperor Claudius II believed that single men made better soldiers than those with families, thus banning marriage for military personnel. However, a priest named Valentine secretly performed marriages for Roman soldiers and their beloveds. When Claudius discovered this, he imprisoned Valentine, who fell in love with the jailer’s daughter and sent her letters signed “From Your Valentine,” a phrase still used today. Valentine was eventually executed for defying Claudius’s orders, becoming a symbol of love.

In ancient Iran, long before the Romans, there was a day dedicated to love known as Sepandarmazgan, celebrated on the 5th of Esfand, which corresponds to February 29 in the current calendar, just four days after Valentine’s Day. This day honored women and the earth, with the earth symbolizing love through its nurturing qualities.

Today, giving chocolates, flowers, and gifts is common in European and American cultures, as well as in modern Iran, where a Valentine’s ring can be a cherished gift for love or Sepandarmazgan.
