Each year on February 14th, many people exchange cards, roses, and chocolates with their special “valentine," but do you know, Who was Valentine?... A saint?
Why is called Valentine? It comes from a Christian root, from a martyr from the 5th century, and Roman Traditions.
Who is St. Valentine? The Catholic Church recognizes, at least, three different saints named Valentine, all of whom were martyred.
About the Legend? Valentine was a Bishop in the third century in Rome. Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape from Roman prisons during Emperor Claudius. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today. Let's Celebrate LOVE Month! 💗

¿Por qué se llama Valentin? Proviene de las raíces cristianas, de un mártir del siglo V, y de las tradiciones Romanas.
Acerca de la Leyenda
La leyenda dice que San Valentín fue un obispo en el tercer siglo en Roma. San Valentín fue asesinado por intentar ayudar a los cristianos a huir de las prisiones durante el Tiempo Romano del emperador Claudius. Antes de su muerte, se dice que escribió una carta firmada: "De tu Valentín," una expresión que hoy en día es muy usada en éste día.
