People have been celebrating
this festival of love and af.
fection since long before there
were Valentine cards - in fact,
before it took its presentname.
Back in ancient Rome, people
celebrated a festival called
Lupercalia every February 15.
It honoured Juno and Pan, and
was celebrated with feasting,
dancing and revelry. After the
spread of Christianity the fes.
tival was changed to February
14, the feast day of two Christ.
