That’s okay. Let’s be each other’s valentine for today and take a peek at how the holiday came to be, and allow us to present you with logos to help you spread the love this romantic month and in the years to come.
Brief Story-Telling
Alright, let’s get into the legends about this celebration for lovers. There are around three priests in speculation about the proponent of the day.
The first Saint Valentine was said to help Christians escape Rome through the underground tunnels, caught by Emperor Cladius II and imprisoned. The second Saint Valentine wedded single men to their lovers despite the decree of Cladius II saying that men were better off as soldiers, so no marrying.
And the last of the three supposed proponents, Saint Valentine of Terni, is said to be the “One.” His story is a mixture of the first two and adds that the first Valentine came from him.
Valentine of Terni sent a letter to his jailer’s daughter, who came to visit him often. He fell in love with her and ended his letter with, “From your Valentine.” It’s an ending and header still used today to celebrate this romantic occasion.
Aside from Valentine himself as the origin of the romantic day, we take a look back at Rome as well. Lupercalia was the name of the celebration before it was “Christianized” in a sense.
Lupercalia is celebrated on February 15 as a dedication to Faunus, the god of agriculture. Also, this day is an ode to the founding fathers of Rome: Romulus and Remus.
Around the 5th century, Pope Gelasius declared February 14 as St. Valentine’s day to phase out the pagan celebration. But it was the Middle Ages that cemented February 14 as a romantic celebration.
Geoffry Chaucer was the first person who mentioned Valentine’s as a romantic occasion. In his poem, Parliament of Foules, he wrote, “For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne’s day / Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate.” Isn’t it romantic?
Lastly, let’s not forget Cupid or Eros from mythology. He’s the son of Aphrodite and Hermes or Ares or Zeus. Cupid is a mischievous god who plays with both gods and human hearts with his bow and arrow.
But Cupid’s image changed around the Hellenistic period as the titular cute boy who flies and makes soulmates connect and find love.
Now that you know why Valentine’s Day is such a hit, let’s get into the logos you could use to spread the love.
