Things to know about Saint Valentine
Sad story between the lines of a romantic celebration. Saint Valentine’s story is not so sweet as we could figure out. Hard time in the year 245 AD for people who wanted to express their thought especially if they were Christian in a period when christian faith was not tolerated by the duty emperor. Claudius II persecuted the church at that particular time and he also prohibited the marriage of young people. It was thought that unmarried soldiers would have struggled with more energy than those with a family at home afraid what might happen to them or their wives or families if they died. Despite such a law Valentine decided to arrange marriages in secret and when Claudius found it out he was caught, imprisoned and tortured for performing marriage ceremonies against the Emperor’s edit. Saint Valentine’s day was established by Pope Gelasius I in 492 AD but as time went on the February 14 feast day was associated with more sweet and romantic subjects. It was also believed in fact that the christian priest fell in love with the blind daughter of a judge and he wrote her secret letters signed: “from your Valentine”.
