Once upon a time, in ancient Rome, Emperor Claudius II decided that young men made better soldiers if they remained single. As such, marriage was strictly forbidden for ‘soldiers-to-be’.
In a quiet rebellion against the emperor's orders, and believing in the power of love, one priest continued to perform marriages for young couples in secret.
In time, the priest’s clandestine operation was discovered, and the emperor ordered he sentenced to death!
While awaiting execution in prison, the priest, named Valentine found an unexpected ally in the jailer's daughter. Sympathetic to the priest’s cause, the woman visited him regularly.
Legend has it that love bloomed in the most unlikely of places, and against all odds, Valentine fell in love with her. In the days before his execution, he penned her a heartfelt note expressing his feelings and signed it with the timeless phrase, "From your Valentine."
Valentine's tale didn't have a fairy-tale ending, as he was eventually put to death for his defiance. However, the legacy of his commitment to love and the enduring message of "From your Valentine" lived on.
In the fifth century, Pope Gelasius I officially declared February 14th as St. Valentine's Day – a day to honour the memory of the brave priest who dared to defy an emperor for the sake of love.
And so, the legacy of St. Valentine lives on, celebrated annually on February 14th, as people around the world exchange tokens of love and affection, inspired by a priest who believed in the power of love against all odds.
