Valentine’s Day: The Celebration of Love

"True love is like a lit window on a dark night. True love is a quiet flame."

Giuseppe Ungaretti

Giuseppe Ungaretti captures the essence of love beautifully. It’s not just his words or the tender gaze of someone who loves us that remind us of this, but a centuries-old celebration: Valentine’s Day. This special holiday falls on February 14 and stems from traditions that, before being Christianized in 496 AD by Pope Gelasius I, date back to ancient Roman times. Back then, it was a celebration of nature’s rebirth and cycles, marked by ancestral rituals. With its Christianization, it became a celebration of pure romantic love, and even today, we celebrate the joy of loving someone special.

"True love is not recognized by what it asks for, but by what it gives."

Jacinto Benavente
