Valentine's Day is often seen as a commercialized celebration of love, but the true story behind this heart-filled holiday is far more complex—and dates back nearly two thousand years. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating history of Valentine’s Day, uncovering the tale of two saints named Valentine whose actions would ultimately inspire the day we celebrate on February 14th. One Valentine was persecuted for refusing to worship Roman gods, while the other defied the Emperor's orders to secretly marry young couples, ultimately leading to his execution for the "sin" of love. Tune in as we explore the story of martyrdom, rebellion, and why February 14th became the day we honor love in all its forms.
Whether you're a fan of the holiday or just curious about its roots, this episode will give you a new perspective on the day of hearts.
