There are many legends about how Valentine’s Day started, but no one knows for sure whether any of them are true. Let’s listen some of them.
Legend 1, Legend 2. Poem ‘Some People Just Know…’– Form 8
Legend 1.
A legend says that a long time ago, in early Rome, there was a priest named Valentine. Claudius II, who was Emperor at that time, made a law that no one could become engaged or get married. He was afraid if men had sweethearts or wives, they would not want to fight in wars. But valentine felt sorry for young people who were in love. So he married them secretly. When Claudius found it out, he had Valentine put to death. Some say this happened on February, 14th.
Legend 2.
Another story is about a man named Valentine too. He also lived in Rome when Claudius II was Emperor. He was put in jail because he was helping Christians, people who Claudius did not like. Valentine became very friendly with the jailer’s blind daughter. And by a miracle, Valentine restored her sight. Just before his death, on February 14th, he sent her a message signed “From your Valentine”
