                                                                                                Who Was Saint Valentine?

                                                                                                There isn't just one Saint Valentine, as several Christian martyrs share this name. The most widely recognized are:

                                                                                                1. Valentine of Rome:
                                                                                                  • A priest in Rome during the 3rd century under Emperor Claudius II.
                                                                                                  • According to legend, he performed secret marriages for Christian couples when the emperor had banned them, believing unmarried men made better soldiers.
                                                                                                  • He was arrested, imprisoned, and eventually executed on February 14 around 269 AD.
                                                                                                  • During his imprisonment, it's said he healed the blind daughter of his jailer, and before his execution, he signed a letter to her "Your Valentine."
                                                                                                2. Valentine of Terni:
                                                                                                  • A bishop in Terni, Italy, also believed to have been martyred under Claudius II.

                                                                                                Why Is Valentine's Day Celebrated?

                                                                                                1. Christian Feast Day:
                                                                                                  • February 14 was established by the Catholic Church as the Feast of Saint Valentine in 496 AD to honor his martyrdom.
                                                                                                2. Medieval Romantic Traditions:
                                                                                                  • During the Middle Ages, the day became linked with romantic love, partly due to the belief that birds began their mating season in mid-February.
                                                                                                  • Writers like Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century wrote about Valentine's Day as a time for lovers, further popularizing the connection.
                                                                                                3. Modern Celebration:
                                                                                                  • By the 18th and 19th centuries, Valentine's Day had evolved into a day for expressing love and affection through cards, flowers, and gifts.
                                                                                                  • It’s now celebrated worldwide, often with commercialized traditions emphasizing romantic gestures.
