About this deal
Some researchers have theorized that Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with the celebration of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary and claim a connection to the 14th century's connotations of romantic love, but there is no historical indication that he ever intended such a thing. [notes 2] [51] [52] Also, the dates do not fit because at the time of Gelasius I, the feast was only celebrated in Jerusalem, and it was on February 14 only because Jerusalem placed the Nativity of Jesus (Christmas) on January 6. [notes 3] Although it was called "Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary", it also dealt with the presentation of Jesus at the temple. [53] Jerusalem's Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary on February 14 became the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple on February 2 as it was introduced to Rome and other places in the sixth century, after Gelasius I's time.

The custom that only women give chocolates to men may have originated from the translation error of a chocolate-company executive during the initial campaigns. [141] In particular, office ladies give chocolate to their co-workers. Unlike western countries, gifts such as greeting cards, [141] candies, flowers, or dinner dates [142] are uncommon, and most of the gifts-related activity is about giving the right amount of chocolate to each person.
