Valentin celebration is an expression of the love of the Roman pagan religions worshiped them. Celebration of Valentine's Day has historical roots in the form of some of the stories passed down through generations to the Romans and the Christians their heirs. The most famous tale of its origin is that the Romans first believed that Romulus (founder of Rome) suckled by a she-wolf, and the wolf gave her physical strength and intelligence of the mind. The Romans commemorate this event in mid-February each year with a magnificent memorial. Among the ritual is the slaughter of a dog and a goat, then dilumurkan blood to the two young men of strong physique. Then they washed the blood with milk. After that, the parade began with two young men in front of the group. Both bring two pieces of leather that they use to smear everything they encounter. The Roman women to spread it intentionally overlooks gladly, because he believed that they would be blessed with fertility and easy childbirth. History of Valentine's Day I:According to the chronicle of ancient Athens calendar, the period between mid-January to mid-February was the month of Gamelion, dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera god. You know god Zeus? that father-nye hercules. In ancient Rome, February 15th was the feast of Lupercalia, a celebration of Lupercus, the god of fertility, which represented half naked and dressed in goat skins. As a purification ritual, the priests of Lupercus would sacrifice a goat to the gods, and after drinking wine, they will run around the streets of Rome holding pieces of sheepskin touching anyone they met on the street.

Even Pope Gelasius I, in the year 496, stating that in fact nothing is known about these martyrs but on February 14 set as the saint's feast day warning Valentinus. Some say that Pope Gelasius I accidentally set it to outperform the feast of Lupercalia which was celebrated on February 15. Skeletal remains unearthed from the tomb of Saint Hyppolytus, identified as the body of St. Valentinus. Then placed in a coffin of gold and sent to the church Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland. The body has been given to them by Pope Gregory XVI in 1836. Many travelers now make pilgrimages to this church on Valentine's Day (February 14), in which the coffin of gold carried in a procession and brought to a high altar. On that day made a special Mass held and dedicated to the young people and those who are in a relationship of love.
