Many legends and myths surround the celebration of this day. Most agree that it is named after St Valentine who contrary to all ruling forbidding marriage, carried out secret weddings for young lovers. He was put to death and became a martyr for refusing to stop marrying couples, and the day he died, 14th February 269 AD, became a day for remembering him. And so he became the patron saint of lovers.
