History of Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day, is technically, St. Valentine’s Day, a fact that Americans tend to forget. Who was St. Valentine and why is he associated with this love holiday? According to this article, there are three priests named Valentinus, Valentine, who were made saints. One story is that, in Rome, in the 3rd century, Valentinus defied an order by Claudius II, baning young men from marrying.
Claudius banned these marriages, because unmarried men made better fighters. Valentinus continued to wed young couples in secret, when he was discovered, Claudius ordered his death!
