Valentine Day

 Why we supposably celebrate this day of Love called Valentines Day....

Valentine

Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus or Valentine....

Several martyrdom stories were invented for the various Valentines that belonged to February 14,  but a popular hagiographical account of Saint Valentine of Rome states that "he or they were imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire."

According to legend, during his imprisonment, he healed the daughter of his jailer, Asterius. And before his execution he wrote her a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell.
