Who came up with this shit because these people have been making a heap of money off of your scheduled assumptions. I never recall anyone ever telling me where Valentines Day came from them nigga’s was just like heres some candy! Every holiday involves candy like were some dogs being trained and candy is the treat! As long as there’s candy involved nobody questions the shit they just accept it.
“From Feb. 13 to 15, the Romans celebrated Lupercalia in honor of Juno. The men sacrificed a goat and a dog, then whipped women with the hides of the animals they had just slain.
The Roman romantics “were drunk. They were naked,” says Noel Lenski, a historian at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Young women would actually line up for the men to hit them, Lenski says. They believed this would make them fertile.
The brutal fete included a matchmaking lottery, in which young men drew the names of women from a jar. The couple would then be, um, coupled up for the duration of the festival — or longer, if the match was right.
The ancient Romans may also be responsible for the name of our modern day of love. Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. Their martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine’s Day.”
