It's believed that Valentine's Day had its beginnings in the Lupercalia - an ancient Roman festival celebrated February 15 to ensure fertility for the people, the fields, and the flocks.

During the Lupercalia, early Roman men often wore the names of young women who were to be their partners pinned to their sleeves. Hence the saying, "wearing your heart on your sleeve."

When the Roman Empire wars broke out, married men didn't want to leave their families while younger men didn't want to leave their sweethearts. As a result of the low numbers of men willing to fight in the wars, Claudius the Cruel ordered that no more marriages or engagements take place.

Valentine, a priest, defied the order and married young couples in secrecy. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine dragged off and imprisoned, where he later died.

What Valentine did for young lovers was never forgotten. His legacy is still celebrated each February 14 on St. Valentine's Day. The tradition continues with flowers, heart-shaped candies, and lacy valentines that celebrate love, while honoring the man - Valentine - who dared disobey Claudius the Cruel all those years ago.

If you are going to celebrate Valentine's, I suggest you do it with a little forethought. I cringe every time I go to the grocery on February 13 or 14 and see dozens of people crowding around the greeting cards to buy their cards at the last possible moment.
