Why Valentine’s Day falls in the dead of winter is shrouded in mystery. Some credit (or blame) ancient Romans, who celebrated the feast of Lupercalia on Feb. 15.
The holiday moved, with the rise of Christianity, to Feb. 14, a saint day that celebrated several Christian martyrs named Valentine. What that has to do with love or romance, who knows.
Unless you’re jetting off to St. Barts 78 degrees and sunny as I write this you’re going to be stuck home with your honey, likely with piles of snow outside. Time to get out of the house and liven up your love life!
