History.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The feast of St. Valentine dates back to the ancient pagan rites of the so-called “lupercalia”, which were celebrated in Roman times on February 15 in honor of Luperco, god of fertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the anniversary, masked people paraded in procession and the women voluntarily offered themselves to the whipping of a group of naked men devoted to the god, because according to the belief, in this way, they would have obtained the gift of fertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 496 Pope Gelasius I, judging this rite offensive and harmful to human dignity, decided to transform it into a feast linked to the Christian concept of love and to move it to the previous day, February 14, or to the day dedicated to Valentine’s Day, which he had consecrated all his life and his works to this noble sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was the first to celebrate the union between a Christian woman and a pagan legionary, and for this decision, he was condemned and executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having become a martyr, he is a revered Saint, he is considered the protector of lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And now let’s get to the stove to amaze with this delicious and light menu for two, our half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
