SAINT VALENTINE

14 February

Christian

February 14 is celebrated as a “day of love”. There are a number of stories one of which is from ancient Romans who may be responsible for the name of our modern day of love. Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. Their martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine’s Day
