Valentines history is deep rooted and has a record that is older than we might ever think it could be. Valentines Day is the day dedicated to St. Valentine. Valentines history dates back to the day when the saint was martyred for his faith. He defied the Roman Emperor Claudius II, and performed secret marriages for young lovers.

Another tale of Valentines history lays emphasis on a poem by Geoffrey Chaucer, composed in the middle ages, which referred to two love birds that represented the engagement of King Richard II to his young bride to be, Anne of Bohemia. This was believed to be one of the first associations of love in the history of Valentines Day. Ever since, Valentines history brings to life the many incidents of love and its celebration.

Valentines history may not always be as romantic as we may want to believe, but the fact remains that today Valentines Day, is indeed one of the most popular festivals in India and across the globe.
