I see red every Valentine's Day-and not just hearts and roses. What nerve! A holiday devoted to love that invariably causes guilt! Roman Emperor Claudius the Cruel is probably to blame. In third century AD, he prohibited his soldiers from marrying so they would be free from romantic entanglements and, therefore, more willing to fight Rome's bloody wars. As legend goes, Valentine's Day began as a pagan feast of the flesh in honor of Juno Februata, goddess of feverish love, and became a day of defiance when a rebellious Gnostic priest named Valentinus secretly performed marriages. From these passionate roots grew one of America's most commercial holidays, and a burden on the bank accounts of romantic souls (lest they suffer the consequences).
Yet the holiday was presumably born of good intentions. Even before the reign of Claudius, adolescent Roman boys and girls were routinely segregated from one another except on February 14, the eve of the feast of Lupercalia, which commemorated the god of fertility. A lottery was customarily held in which slips of paper bearing girls' names were drawn by eager boys. Their forced coupling lasted for the entire festival and often resulted in true and lasting love. Claudius's decree threw a wet blanket on such romance, so in AD 270 Valentinus took matters into his own hands and surreptitiously administered the sacrament of marriage.
