Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine, a Catholic priest who lived in Rome in the 3rd Century. The ancient Roman calendar included a mid-February holiday even before St. Valentine’s time. That holiday, called Lupercalia, celebrated fertility, and may have included a ritual in which men and women were paired off by choosing names from a jar. In Ancient Greece, people observed a mid-winter celebration for the marriage of the god Zeus and the goddess Hera.
