29 Easy Valentine's Day Drawing Tutorials

Hearts, roses, candies, and bow-and-arrow-wielding flying babies are common symbols of Valentine's Day. Have you ever wondered where this lovelorn day of romance came from?

According to the book Celebrations: The Complete Book of American Holidays, Valentine's day started as the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia.

The festivities proceeded in this way: "In honor of the goddess Juno Februata, the names of young women were put into a box.

Youths then drew the names and the boys and girls so matched would be considered partners for the year."

Later, "everywhere that the Christians came into power they immediately adopted the holidays and customs of the people to their own creed."

St. Valentine's Day was born when girls' names were replaced with those of saints whom the young people could imitate for that year. But, being matched with girls was more fun, so this tradition soon resumed.
