Valentine Cruise on the Thames

London, England (UK) – 2 February 2012 – From whence precisely does the concept of Valentine’s Day derive? The answer to this question is indistinct and vague; there is not a singular and straightforward explanation behind Valentine’s Day. The day is dedicated to one, or potentially more Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine. In fact, three separate Saint Valentines’ have existed in the martyrologies of the Catholic Church. One of the narratives of Saint Valentine is that he worked as a priest at a temple at the time of Emperor Claudius’ reign. Claudius then had Valentine incarcerated for daring to contend against him.

Valentine’s Day first became an annual event from Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It was eliminated from the General Roman Calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI.

Legend also attests that St. Valentine left a parting note for the prison warden’s daughter, who had become his close friend, and signed it ‘From Your Valentine’.
