Valentine’s Day

Xander and Cordelia

According to Buffy, “Valentine’s Day is just a cheap gimmick to sell cards and chocolate”. Valentine was actually a priest in Rome, who was persecuted under Claudius II. When the prefect of Rome couldn’t make him renounce his faith, he sentenced him to be beheaded. That sentence was carried out on February 14. In the Buffyverse, the only episode to be set on Valentine’s Day is Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, when Xander and Amy performed a love spell on Cordelia after she broke up with Xander. In that episode, Spike bought Drusilla a necklace for Valentine’s, whilst Angel got her a fresh heart.
