SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY Who was Saint Valentine ?According to a legend St. Valentine was a priest near Rome in about the year 270 AD
When Claudius II became the emperor he believed that soldiers would be unable to concentrate on fighting if they were married.
So he banned marriage.
Valentine defied the emperor and secretly performed marriage ceremonies.
He was sent to prison until he could be executed.
While he was in the dungeon, Father Valentine learned that the jail-keepers daughter was blind and sent for her. He touched her brow and she was immediately granted her sight. It was a miracle!
When the cruel King Claudius,learned of this miracle, he
thought it was witchcraft and immediately ordered that Father
Valentine's head be chopped off!
On the morning of the execution, February 14, of the
year 270, the priest sent a letter to the jail-keepers daughter, whom he
had fallen in love with. He signed the letter "From your Valentine".
That is why people sign their Valentine's Day cards the way they do today.
As Father Valentine was being buried after the
exectution, a huge swarm of red and white butterflies appeared and
circled over the people at his funeral. They fluttered here and there,
and eventually landed upon Father Valentine's coffin. The people looked
at the pattern that the butterflies had made when they landed and saw
that it was shaped like a big heart. And that is why the heart is used as
a symbol of love today.
