The Story of Valentine's Day

Where did Valentine's Day come from? Maybe you think it was invented by card and chocolate companies! But, did you know that there really was a St. Valentine who risked his life for love and friendship? Here is how the legend goes:

A long time ago Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He wanted a huge army and expected all able-bodied men to volunteer. When he realized men loved their wives and families and weren't all that keen on leaving them to go die on the battlefield Claudius had an idea: He made marriage illegal.

A priest named Valentine enjoyed marrying couples and seeing them happily in love. He decided the law was ridiculous and continued to marry young lovers in secret - officiating the ceremony while the couples whispered their vows, all the time listening for the footsteps of soldiers.

One day Valentine was caught, sentenced to death, and thrown in jail. The prison guard's daughter made friends with the imprisoned priest and kept his spirits up by visiting him every day. On his last day Valentine gave his little friend a note thanking her for her loyalty and friendship. He signed it, "Love from your Valentine."

On February 14, 269 A.D. Valentine died, but every year people remember his commitment to love and friendship by exchanging "valentines" with their loved ones.
