Be My Valentine
When Emperor Claudius II sought to increase his military base by forbidding young men to marry, Valentine performed clandestine ceremonies for desperate lovers. Ultimately caught and imprisoned, Valentine was executed on February 14, 270. That day, it’s said he sent a note to the prison guard’s daughter, thanking her for her friendship in his final days and signing it, ?Love, Your Valentine.? Centuries later, in France and England, it was believed that birds began their mating rituals on February 14th, further evidence that the day was destined for romance.
