St. Valentine was a Roman who was executed on February 14th 269 A.D.
He was sentenced to death for love. .
  St. Valentine lived during the 3rd Century under a vicious king.
The ruler asked vast armies of men to abandon their loved ones for long periods of time, causing the men to become depressed and not fight to the ruler’s standards. .
The ruler eventually banned marriage all together.
Valentine, a hopeless romantic, did not agree. .
He fought the ban and continued to marry lovers in private – how scandalous!
The king caught St. Valentine and sentenced him to death. .
As the story goes, the couples St.
Valentine married in secret would visit him in jail and bring him flowers and love notes.
Making matters even worse, St. Valentine fell in love with his jailer’s daughter and on the day he was sentenced to death he wrote her a love letter and signed it, “from your Valentine”.
” Talk about a love story!
