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. In Greek mythology Cupid was the god of love. This special day’s origin, though, is not so rosy.

There are many theories on how Valentine’s Day began, but the most noted one begins in Rome in the year 268. Emperor Claudius II

wanted a cruel team of young men to fight in his armies. He found that when young men are in love or sharing their lives with a wife

and children, they tended to be more cautious.

Claudius banned marriage for those young men. Claudius banned love, but he could not stop it. Young men and women still fell in

love and wanted to become couples in the eyes of the church. A brave and romantic—priest named Valentine thought the law was

horribly unfair.

Valentine continued performing marriage ceremonies. The priest was found and killed, on February 14th. Centuries later, the

Catholic Church made priest a saint, one of three saints named “Valentine.” The word Valentine stands for or means - Valor

ღირსება , სიმამაცე. Nowadays it is celebrated on the 14th of February.

No one knows exactly when St. Valentine’s Day was first celebrated, but there is a poem and people think it was from the first

Valentine’s Day card, asking – “To be a Valentine”. It was sent from a prisoner in the Tower of London to his wife in the year 1415.
