On Valentine’s Day, millions of people invest time and money to please the beloved. However, many are unaware of the stories behind this long-awaited day. I was told about the different Saint Valentines, who were all martyrs including several other stories behind this love day. One that stuck with me the most is the story of a Holy priest named Valentíne. St. Valentine went against Emperor Claudius II, who ordered the prohibition of marriages during the persecution days of Christians. St. Valentine married the couples in secret, and when Claudius found out, he was put into prison and was executed on February 14, 269-270 A.D
Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️
