In the year 496, Santo Papa Gelasius I ordered the pagan celebrations to make Christian rites so that the new name, Valentine's Day was given, as a patron sailing, St. Valentine.

Valentine's Day is celebrated with inspiration and remembrance of the two Catholic saints Valentino of Rome and Valentino of Terni.

Valentino of Rome is a martyred priest. Emperor Claudius II then forbade Roman soldiers to marry because of the disadvantages of soldiers fighting the war. However, St. Valentine still secretly married couples. Because of this, he was killed in 270.

Valentino of Terni was also a bishop of Interamna in 197, who was said to have been tortured and killed during the reign of Emperor Aurelian
