Although he is not an official, but I at least I do not know a single person who does not know of his existence, but about history knows it is not all. Its what I want to tell you.
Valentin walks of life are many legends, but know for certain only that he lived in Italy during the reign of Emperor Claudius II, who was very proud of the military prowess of his men and not so favored Christians. To preserve the military spirit of the emperor issued an edict forbidding soldiers to marry, because I thought that went into marriage too much time in the family and not busy planning for the welfare of the empire and military prowess, but his family home. Despite the imperial ban, a young priest (according to some sources, the bishop) was crowned Valentine secretly in love soldiers. There are also legends that somehow Valentin healed the blind daughter of one of Roman dignitaries, after which she fell in love with him.
Secret activity Valentine short time was a secret, and soon the rumor about her came to the emperor. The enraged emperor ordered the execution of a priest. The execution was carried out on February 14 269 years. They say also that on the night before his execution, Valentine wrote a letter full of feelings, a girl he had healed. It's just a guess, and how it was actually, we do not know and will never know, but one thing is certain - Valentine really was killed in the name of love. That's why on Valentine had not forgotten, and was elected patron saint of lovers. As a Christian martyr who suffered for their faith, he was canonized by the Catholic Church.
In Europe, the Valentine's day is celebrated with XIII, in the U.S. since the XVIII century, and at the end of XX century and came to us and gave us the opportunity at least once a year fully express all my love to our families and to show how much we love them, or to say easier - to express the feelings that we forget the rest 364 days of the year.
