As the gifts people usually give roses, cakes, sweets, chocolate and teddy bears.
The history of Valentine’s Day
One legend contents that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
According to another legends while Valentine was in prison awaiting for his fate, he came in contact with his jailor, Asterius. The jailor had a blind daughter. Asterius requested him to heal his daughter. Through his faith he miraculously restored the sight of Asterius’ daughter. Just before his execution, he asked for a pen and paper from his jailor and signed farewell message to her. He signed ‘From Your Valentine’.
That’s all I’m going to say today. Thank you for your attention. Have a nice
