Valentine’s was a priest who went
against the orders of Roman Emperor
Claudius ii by conducting marriages
between soldiers and their loved ones

execution however before being put to
death Saint Valentine cured his jailers
daughter from blindness and fell in love
with her his last communication with her
was a letter signed from your Valentine

the first made February 14th st.
Valentine’s Day in 496 ad
some believe the choice of this
particular date was an effort by the
Christians to curb the celebration of a
pagan fertility festival called
Lupercalia taking place between the 13th
and the 15th of the month the festival
honored a Roman god and the founders of
Rome through rituals of sacrifice and
feasting the association of romantic
love with Valentine’s Day did not
actually emerge until the Middle Ages
when a poem by Englishman Geoffrey
