Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14 to honor Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr from the 3rd century.
Saint Valentine is believed to have died on February 14, around the year 269 or 270 AD, after being martyred in Rome under Emperor Claudius II. According to tradition, he was executed for secretly performing Christian marriages and defying the emperor’s ban on marriages for young men.
This date later became associated with romantic love, evolving into the modern Valentine’s Day.
