The celebration of Valentine’s Day dates way back into the past, to the ancient Roman times. Christianity was a young religion then and Claudius II was the emperor. The Emperor forbade the soldiers to get married or engaged to prevent them from staying at home rather than going off to war. However, Valentine, a priest who had to obey Emperor’s decision, also lived at that time but he did not give up on his principles and goals and he secretly wedded soldiers. Unfortunately, the Emperor found out about it, locked him in a solitary confinement and ordered punishment in the form of decapitation which took place on 14 February. Not long after his death, the people proclaimed Valentine a saint and we, even today in these modern times, celebrate Valentine’s Day - Lovers’ Day.

Although Valentine’s Day is celebrated on 14 February, lovers should celebrate their love every day. We must show the person we love just how much we love him/her, do something special and shower him/her with affection.
