What Is Valentines Day?
Valentines Day derives from the association of middle of February with love and fertility goes back to ancient times. While ancient Romans celebrated the Banquet of Lupercalia to honour the Roman Fertility Gods "Lupercus and Faunus, ancient Athenians celebrated it as the month of Gamelion to celebrate the marriage of Greek Gods "Zeus and Hera.
February Celebrations in Ancient Rome
Ancient Romans celebrated the ides of Feb as the festival of Lupercalia to secure fertility and keep out noxious. The Banquet of Lupercalia was devoted to the Roman Gods of Farming, Lupercus and Faunus with Romulus and Remus "the mythical founders of Rome. A predecessor of this festival was celebrated on Feb 14. The day was observed as a holiday in honour of Juno "the Queen of Roman Gods and Goddesses and who was also the Goddess of Girls and Wedding.
During the February Fertility Festival of Lupercus, members of the order of the Roman clergymen would gather in a holy cave where Romulus and Remus are claimed to have been nurtured by she-wolf. To mark the start of the festival, priests would sacrifice a goat for fertility and a dog for purification. Young boys used to cut the goats hide into strips and dipped them in sacrificial blood. Later on boys clad in animal skin would run about the highways of Rome holding pieces of goatskin above their head and gently slapping girls and fields with the animal hide. Women cheerfully received the slap, as they suspected that touch of the goatskin would render them fruitful and bring simple childbirth. As the youths impersonated male goats (the symbol of sexuality), the occassion was claimed to be in honour of Fanus.
Another custom of the Banquet of Lupercalia was the pairing of young lads and lasses who otherwise lived exactly separated. During the evening, all of the young marriageable girls used to place their name in a big urn, and each young man would draw out a name of a girl from the urn and became paired with that girl for the rest of the year. Quite often, the paired couple would fall madly in love and then marry.
February Celebrations in Ancient Athens
Ancient Athens celebrated the time between mid Jan and mid February as the month of Gamelion. They dedicated the festival month to the holy marriage of Zeus and Hera. In Greek mythology Zeus was the ultimate ruler of the traditional Greek Gods while Hera was the Goddess of women, wedding and childbirth.
