So little is known in fact that the Catholic Church removed his feast day from the official list in 1969. This pagan holiday roots in ancient Roman times.

Most scholars believe that Saint Valentine was a priest who attracted the disfavor of Roman emperor Claudius II around 270. At this stage, fact ends and myth begins. According to one legend, Claudius II had prohibited marriage for young men, claiming that bachelors made better soldiers. St. Valentine continued to secretly perform marriage ceremonies but was eventually apprehended by the Romans and put to death on Feb 14th.

Saint Valentine

Ever since, lovers exchange gifts such as chocolate on that very day. Chocolate contains substances, such as theobromine, which relax and lower inhibitions while increasing desire for physical contact. It was actually banned from some monasteries centuries ago! Chocolate contains more antioxidant (cancer preventing enzymes) than does red wine. The secret for passion is to combine the two.

So, benefit from Casanova’s lead and become a chocolate fanatic too!
