The story
In Rome, an emperor believed that recruitment for the army was down because Roman men did not want to leave their loved ones or families behind, so he canceled all marriages and engagements in Rome.
O
A Christian priest named Valentine came forward and stood up for love. He began to secretly marry soldiers before they went off to war, despite the emperor’s orders. In 269 A.D., Emperor Claudius found out about the secret ceremonies. He had Valentine thrown into prison and deemed that he would be put to death.
As Valentine was awaiting execution, he fell in love with a blind girl who happened to be the jailer’s daughter. On the eve of his execution, Valentine wrote her a sonnet in ink that he squeezed from violets. Legend has it that his words cured her.
The next day, he was executed.
