🌻Happy Valentine’s Day !🌻 • Clicked by @mybohovoyage Art by Me again @mybohovoyage Art Ig : @rudravi.art Edited by @mybohovoyage • 🌻Did you know that the first Valentine’s Day was celebrated in the year 496 ! It is thought to have originated from a Roman festival called Lupercalia starting in the middle of February which is the start of their springtime. • St. Valentine was a priest and physician from Rome in the third century AD. His full name was Valentine of Terni and was born in 226 AD in Terni, Italy. • Emperor Claudius II Gothicus had banned marriages because he thought married men were bad soldiers. Valentine felt this was unfair, so he broke the law and secretly arranged the marriages. When Claudius found out, Valentine was thrown in jail and sentenced to death. There he befriended and healed the jailer’s daughter from blindness, fell in love with her and when he was taken to be killed on 14 February he sent her a love letter signed "from your Valentine". • Later on, the church wanted to turn this festival into a Christian celebration and decided to use it to remember St Valentine too. • There’s a lot in the history for Valentine’s which is not only interesting but also give a thorough knowledge about Rome during the 3rd century AD. • #valentinesday #romanhistory #terni #italy #terniitaly #rome #saintvalentine #valentineshistory (at New Delhi) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8iwRW4gVFe/?igshid=1oi3i9jmg28h1
