The History of Saint Valentine’s Day
• Legend has it that in the third century, Emperor Claudius II of Rome made it illegal for men to get married because he wanted them to fight in his wars.
• A local priest named Valentine broke the law and helped young couples who wanted to get married.
• When Claudius found out about Valentine’s secret marriages, he had Valentine arrested and ordered for him to be killed.
• While Valentine was in jail, he wrote a love letter to his girlfriend and signed it “From Your Valentine.”
