With Valentine’s Day here, and millions of dollars being spent on roses, chocolates and cards, we’re unlocking the surprisingly wild story behind February 14.
Long before heart-shaped boxes and candlelit dinners, this day had its roots in an ancient Roman festival called Lupercalia — and yes, it involved goats.
In this episode of From the Vault, we explore when Valentine’s Day began, how it’s celebrated around the world, and some of the biggest and most surprising romantic gestures ever recorded.
