Description
Wolrd wide known as the Lovers Day, Saint Valentine's Day began as a ritual remembrance of a recalcitrant priest back in third-century in Rome.
The Emperor Claudius II banned marriage because he thought single men would make better soldiers.
One passionate priest named Valentine, an early Christian martyr continued to wed young lovers.
Later imprisoned for his defiance, Valentine fell in love with a young girl who came to visit his cell.
Before his death, the priest wrote her a letter ... ... ... the first valentine.
