Valentine’s Day, celebrated every year across the world on 14th of February is the day of love and romance. Nevertheless, many of us do not know the epic and heroic story behind it. This day of love comes from history. Valentine’s day is named after the roman saint, Saint Valentine, also known as Valentinus. In the 3rd century, Claudius II ruled Rome. At that time, the Romans were converting into Christians and Claudius wanted the Roman soldiers to be completely committed and devoted to Rome. Hence, he created a law that prevents the Roman soldiers to get married. Behind his back, Saint Valentine married the soldiers to the ones they loved secretly in unofficial ceremonies.

He broke the law several times because he believed in love and its importance. As time passed, Claudius eventually came to know about the dishonored acts of Saint Valentine followed by his imprisonment thereafter. It is believed that Saint Valentine cared a lot for his fellow prisoners and also his judge’s daughter who was blind. He gave his eyes to the girl and cured her blindness as an act of love. Before being executed, Saint Valentine wrote a love note which was signed as ‘From: Your Valentine’. This was Saint Valentine’s last act before his execution (i.e.,) sentence to death on 14th of February in the year 270.
