Saint Valentine
St. Valentine, for whom this holiday is named, was an actual historical figure. He was a Roman physician who was also a Christian priest during the days of the early church.Valentine was so loved by the children of the town that they would constantly write him notes speaking of their affection--hence the origin of exchanging valentines. Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate love and friendship and the joy of having other people in your life. It’s a day of flowers, candy and cards decorated with hearts, but it is also a day to embrace your love for Jesus. Saint Valentine of Rome is the patron saint of engaged couples, bee-keepers, happy marriages, love, young people, and travelers.
