St. Valentine

The story of Valentine's Day is based on legends about a Catholic priest named Valentine, whom Emperor Claudius II executed in the third century. The Catholic Church honors Valentine's martyrdom by celebrating St. Valentine's Day on February 14

Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men because he thought they would be better soldiers. Valentine defied Claudius by secretly marrying young lovers. Claudius imprisoned Valentine and ordered him to be beheaded on February 14

Valentine became a saint for his martyrdom.

Some say Valentine fell in love with his jailer's blind daughter, Julia. Valentine prayed with Julia and God restored her sight. Valentine wrote a note to Julia on the night before his execution, signing it "Love, from your Valentine."
