The History of Valentine's Day   

        A legend says that Valentine was a priest lived in Rome during the year 270 A.D.

       The Roman Emperor Claudius II, at that time, ordered the Roman soldiers not to marry because he believed that single men without wives made better soldiers.

       Valentine realized the injustice of the decree and secretly joined them in the sacrament of matrimony.

     When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius imprisoned him and put him to death.

       While Valentine was in prison, he fell in love with a young woman.

       On the eve of his execution, he wrote her a letter signing it "From your Valentine", an expression that lived ever after.

       On February 14, 270, Valentine was beheaded.
