The History of Valentine’s Day & the Timeless Celebration of Love at Old Spanish Quarter
Valentine’s Day has long been a celebration of love, romance, and devotion—a tradition that has stood the test of time, much like the historic walls of Old Spanish Quarter. As Jacksonville’s newest yet most timeless wedding venue, we believe every love story deserves a setting as rich in history and beauty as the traditions that inspire it.
The Origins of Valentine’s Day: A Celebration of Love
The story of Valentine’s Day dates back to ancient Rome, where the legendary Saint Valentine defied an emperor’s orders by secretly marrying couples in the name of love. Over the centuries, this act of devotion evolved into a global celebration, marked by poetry, heartfelt gestures, and the promise of forever. Today, Valentine’s Day is a time to cherish love in all its forms—whether through an engagement, a wedding, or the simple joy of sharing a special moment with someone you love.
