Class 14,Grade1A Sad Love StoryIn February
Valentine’s DayThe history of Valentine’s Day Valentine was a priest in third century Rome, when the emperor decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives, he banned marriage. Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor had him put to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to buy gifts for his girl friend.
