Happy Valentine’s Day 2012
Legend has it that Valentine’s Day is based on the story of a Priest, Saint Valentine. The Roman Emperor Claudius II had enacted a law, allegedly ordering that young men remain single in order to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men anyway. Upon finding this out, and having Saint Valentine try to convert him to Christianity, The Emperor had Valentine thrown in jail and sentenced to execution. Before his execution, Valentine was reported to have performed a miracle by healing the blind daughter of his jailer and wrote the very first “Valentine” card himself, to the blind daughter of the jailer, signed “From your Valentine.”
Historical facts show that no romantic elements are present in the original early medieval biographies of any of the martyrs that Valentine’s Day is said to honor.
With that said…
