While the Google Doodle brings a modern and interactive approach to Valentine’s Day celebrations, it’s essential to remember the historical roots of the day. St. Valentine, known for his altruistic assistance to couples, is at the origin of this celebration. Legend has it that St. Valentine, jailed and executed by Emperor Claudius II, wrote “Your Valentine” in a note to the jailer’s blind daughter, Julia, on the day of his execution. Since then, Valentine’s Day has been observed on February 14 every year.
