Fun Fact! Valentine's Day has its roots in an ancient Pagan festival.
Though some historians think that Valentine's Day commemorates St. Valentine's death on February 14, others believe that the event derives from a Pagan fertility festival known as "Lupercalia," which was held on February 15 in ancient Rome. The day was dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, and the Roman founders Romulus and Remus, and was celebrated by sacrificing animals and slapping women with animal skins, a technique thought to increase fertility.
