The feast of love is held on 14 February. There are several versions to the story and origin of Saint Valentine. One of these tells that in the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I wanted to combat the Lupercalia (annual roman festival celebrated by people known as the Luperci) by inaugurating a feast to the purification of the Virgin Mary. The feast of love is therefore celebrated on 14 February.
