What is Valentine? It is a day to celebrate love and friendship.
Why is called Valentine? It comes from a Christian 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.
One legend states that Valentine was a priest or
even a Bishop who served during the third century in Rome during Emperor
Claudius.
When the Emperor decreed that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he banned marriage for young men. Valentine realized the injustice of the decree and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.

When Valentine’s actions were discovered,
Claudius ordered that he be put to death. When he was arrested and
placed in the custody of a judge who had a blind daughter, Valentine cured her blindness.
The judge and his family became Christians.
Other stories suggest that
Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape from Roman
prisons. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote a letter signed “From
your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today.
Although the truth behind
the Valentine legends is dim, we dedicate this day to celebrate love.
