Valentine’s Day, with roots in ancient pagan rituals and Christian traditions, has evolved significantly from its establishment as a minor feast day in 496 CE. The association with romantic love grew during the Middle Ages, influenced by poetry and customs. Today, it is a global celebration, although often critiqued for its commercial aspects.
