Valentine day is a very important day especially celebrated in English speaking countries, on the 14th of February, but with time it has spread around the world, and if it’s not for what it was meant to be from the beginning; then those days it is for big business, the card is sent, flowers or chocolate is bought, if not other romance gifts most of them including a red heart red is the color of love.
Valentin was a priest, and he was living in Rome where he helped the Christians much to the dislike of Claudius the 2nd who was the ruler of Rom. Valentine was arrested and got a death sentence but he was offered to go free if he turned his back to Christianity which he refused.
He was then in prison waiting to be executed, but in the meantime, he became a friend of the prison guard’s blind daughter, and the folklore is saying he gave her; her sight back.
Valentine was executed on the 14th of February year 269, but before he sent a letter to his new girlfriend and signed it:” your Valentine”, and from there the tradition started with sending letters to your lover or lover to be.
Later Valentine was proclaimed a saint, and from that time off he has been considered the protector of lovers.
