A short history about Valentine's Day...

There are several stories associated with the history of Valentine's Day. At least three Christian martyrs were named Valentine and are believed to have been executed for various reasons, including marrying Roman soldiers in secret. Emperor Claudius II prevented soldiers from marrying because he thought they should only love Rome. Valentine's Day is thought to have originated with a particular Christian bishop who performed secret marriage ceremonies in defiance of the Emperor's law.

Valentine was eventually imprisoned and legend has it that before his execution on 14 February, he left a farewell love message for the jailor's daughter signed ‘from your Valentine'. This phrase is still in use today as the traditional Valentine's Day message to a lover.

In our school, we celebrated Valentine's Day giving the students some love cards for they write to the people they love the most. It was taught the expressions that used to be used at that time. We hope you enjoy it.
