Illustration: Captain James Cook, by John Webber. On February 14, 1779, Captain James Cook, the great English explorer and navigator, is killed by Native Hawaiians during his third visit to the Pacific island group. Captain James Cook is killed: 1779. Among Britain’s most accomplished explorers, James Cook charted lands from Newfoundland to New Zealand to Alaska. In 1778, on his third voyage to the Pope Gelasius declared Feb. 14 as St. Valentine’s Day in 496 AD. It was not until much later, however, that the day became definitively associated with love. In the Italian city of Terni, Catholics look forward to February 14 as the feast day of St. Valentine, their city’s patron saint, whose relics are interred in their city’s cathedral. According to the ancient hagiographical legends, St. Valentine lived between 175 and 245. The patron saint of love and happy marriages, among other things, Saint Valentine was a 3rd-century Roman saint. His feast day, of course, is Feb. 14 – Valentine’s Day. But who was he? First, let’s just say his feast day doesn’t refer to consuming chocolate or fancy dinners out, but rather a tradition of courtly love. The Feast of Saint Valentine, also known as Saint Valentine's Day, was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honour of the Christian martyr. [41] A shrine of Saint Valentine in Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland. February 14 is Saint Valentine's Day in the Lutheran calendar of saints. [12] Q: Who was St. Valentine and why does the Church no longer observe his feast in its General Roman Calendar for Feb. 14? A: Valentine’s Day has been celebrated as a cultural phenomenon mostly in English-speaking countries. St. Valentine, a name that is synonymous with love and romance across the globe, lived at a time when the Roman Empire was at its peak. He is often best remembered for the act of marrying couples in secret defiance of the Roman Emperor's bans. John Donne wrote his Epithalamion Vpon Frederick Count Palatine and the Lady Elizabeth marryed on St. Valentines day to celebrate the match – ‘Hayle Bishop Valentine whose day this is’ – which drew on the legend of mating birds. 13 years earlier, William Shakespeare also mentioned ‘Saint Valentine’s day’ in Hamlet. On St. Valentine's Day, most of the Moran gang had already arrived at the warehouse by approximately 10:30 AM. Moran was not there, having left his Parkway Hotel apartment late. As Moran and one of his men, Ted Newberry, approached the rear of the warehouse from a side street they saw the police car pull up. As we approach St. Valentine’s Day, a day celebrated across the world for love and affection, it is an opportune moment to reflect on the deeper meaning of love as envisioned by our Catholic Faith. For those called to the vocation of marriage, the path to this sacrament is not just a pursuit of companionship, but a journey toward sanctity. Over the millennia, Valentine’s Day has seen more than its fair share of pivotal events, including brutal executions, bombing campaigns and military engagements. From the death of Richard II in 1400 to the firebombing of Dresden in 1945, here are 10 historic events that occurred on Valentine’s Day. 1.
