But who was Saint Valentine, and why this wonderful holiday has its name?
One legend tells, that once upon the time there was a priest named Valentine who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men are better soldiers than those who are married and have kids, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine ignored Claudius’ order and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered to put him to death.
Other narratives identify Valentine as the bishop of Terni, Italy. He was tortured and killed in Rome on February 14, 269. After that his relics were taken to Terni. It is possible these are different versions of the same original account and refer to only one person.
