The History of Valentine's Day

Every February, across the country, Valentine chocolate, unique romantic gifts, romantic gift baskets, and flowers are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day and its patron saint is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men, his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

While in prison, Valentine himself fell in love with a young girl beleived to be his jailor's daughter, who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. So send "your Valentine" a unique romantic gift of our specialty Valentine Chocolate covered wines and chocolate covered champagnes. Or if you prefer select from our romantic gift baskets or Valentine chocolates. If all the red is not your style choose from one of our everyday gift baskets, corporate gift baskets, coffee and tea gift baskets, chocolate truffles, corporate gifts, chocolate covered wines and chocolate covered champagnes, wine gifts, and spa gifts. A little pampering can do a lot of good for your loved one this Valentine's Day.
