Valentine was a Christian priest in Roman empire 300 years after the death of Jesus Christ. He had been thrown in prison for his teaching. On February 14, Valentine was beheaded, not only because he performed a miracle – he cured the Jailer’s daughter from her blindness the night before he was executed – but he wrote a letter to the girl, signing it “From your Valentine”.

Another Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived at about the same time. He was imprisoned, because he secretly married couples, contrary to laws of the Roman emperor.
