Pagan Roman Feast
Early Valentine Day

It's not generally known, but
the origins of our lovely and sen
timental Valentine's Day can be
traced all the way back to a pack
of wolves! . . , the four-legged
kind, that is.
Researchers for a pen company
learned that what is now our heart-
holiday was not at first a day to
honor the gentle Christian martyr
St. Valentine, harlier, in pagan
Rome, a feast called Lupercalia
was held each year in the middle
of February to pay homage to
the god, Lupcrcus, who guarded
livestock and shepherds from at
tacks by marauding wolves. Dur
ing part of the celebration, young
Roman warriors drew names of
young women from helmets.
A girl who was thus chosen by
chance became, for the following
year, the sweetheart of the soldier
who had picked her name . . . sort
a classical version of goinc
steady.
When Rome became a Chris
tian city, such goings-on were not
countenanced by author ities, but
the holiday was kept and changed
to honor the Christian martyrs,
particularly St. Valentine whose
birthday fell at that time of year.
The drawing also was retained as
a part of the celebration, except
tne names picked by chance were
those of saints. For a year follow
ing, the religious participant at
tempted to emulate the life and
attributes of the saint whose
name he had chosen.
As the centuries passed, the hol
iday remained a religious one. bul
it also became a day for bestow-

ing small gifts and mementos on
close friends and the girls next
door. In medieval England the
day took on the aspect ol a con
test ... for when two peopli
met. the first to shout, " 'tis St
Valentine's Day" was entitled to
receive a gilt from the other per.
son.
According to research, Valen
tine's Day cards first appeared a
the beginning of the Eighthtcenth
Century. The oldest known card
dates from 1710. It was made in
Germany and tore the picture of
a turtle dove, under which, writ
ten in ink, was the message
Greet my love 1.000 times.
Until the Industrial Ri volution
which made possible the mass
production of cards, Valentines
were an individual creation, with
loving messages carefully written
with a goose-quill pen For the
less imaginative, pamphlets were
available entitled "Polite Valen
tine Writers." A loving but in
articulate swain would copy out
a message appropriate to his ro
mantic situation and to his pro-
lession or trade as well
During the Victorian era in Eng.
and, Valentines beca.Te like the
furniture of that period . . . over
stuffed. Lace, feathers frince
waxed leaves and flowers were
used to decorate the oft-perfumed
cards, and tile sentiments
pressed therein were ... as a
10-year-old boy might say
just plain mushy. Comic Valen
tines of that era also were over
extravagant in vulgaiuy and in
sults.
By 1000, American card publish-
were disgusted with both plushy
and tawdry Valentines, and pro
duced simple cards with messages
more friendly than romantic. In
he Roaring Twenties, alentincs
again became decorative, but con.
lorming to the emancipated aura
ol that decade, the messages were
breezy rather than sentimental.
I hrough all the changes in style
and fashion, the pictorial symbols1
on Valentine cards have'remained
constant . . . hearts, ciipids. coo-
ing birds, lovely ladies, bashful
beaux. But today there is no set
"style" in Valentines. We can
choose the simple, ornate, banter
ing, intellectual, sou!! il or the
'guess who" variety . . . the per
iod Valentine is available.
Yet beyond modern-day multi
plicity of cards and sentiments
when we write the name and ad
dress on the Valentine chosen for
that one "certain" person, we are
saying what Valentine - sendtrs
have been saving land hoping)
down through the centuries. Sim
ply:
"Oh. Valentine
Please be mine!"

THROUGH THE YEARS Drawings depict what researchers on Valentine's Day havi
found. In pagan Rome, above, young warriors had for their girl for the year, the lady
whose name they picked from a helmut. The Victorian era- left, brought sentimental
messages on ornately styled Valentines. The modern young man at right has little
trouble choosing the proper saying for that "certain" person.
