Valentine’s Day’s origin contains bits of both Catholic and pagan traditions mixed with lots of mystery. While some think the holiday commemorates the death of a martyred priest in Rome, others believe the special day was an effort by the Catholic Church to re-brand a Roman fertility festival into something more “Christian.”

Cupid and His Bow

History experts believe the origin of Valentine’s adorable messenger of love is actually Eros, the Greek god of love. Originally considered a handsome  immortal, this character eventually morphed into a playful, chubby child, as we know this Valentine’s Day mascot today.
