A Geeky History of Valentines

Monday, February 14, 2011


Alternately revered by romantics as a day to buy win their lovers’ hearts with sappy greeting cards and reviled by cynics (read: single women) as a Hallmark Holiday to stimulate the economy, the true meaning of February 14th is sorely neglected by modern society.
Thankfully the amateur historians at PrettiGeeky are here to remind you of your romantic roots. Here we’ll relay a tangled mishmash of Christian and ancient Roman tales, each as heartfelt as the last, that add up Americans buying over 150 million Valentine’s Day cards every year.
