History of Valentine's day, February 14th

Valentine day, a day we exchange gifts and spend quality time with those we love and cherish, a day celebrated in the name of "love" but here is the history of what made it valentine's day.

The Catholic knew three well knowned Saints named Valentine and they were all killed or to be precise martyred. One legend says that St. Valentine was a priest who was serving during the reign of the Emperor Cladius II, when the Emperor mandated that all single men should be made soldiers to fight for the country and to strengthen the military of the country but St. Valentine realizing all these stood against it and ruled it out as an act of injustice and then he started performing wedding ceremony and joining single men to their wife in secret, when the Emperor heard of it, he ordered that Saint Valentine should be killed.

Another legend says that the person who truthfully owns that day is a Bishop, although he was removed from his bishop post due to lack of information about him hence there isn't much to be said about him just that he heals and take care of people with epilepsy and he was a beekeeper. He was also buried on February 14th

Now the last legend days that Valentine was killed because he tried escaping some christians brothers of his from the harsh treatment in prison where he fell inlove with his prison's mate daughter who came to visit them occasionally and brings them food and all they need. It was there he wrote a letter to her and ended it with "Your Valentine" a signatory phrase still used till today and all the killing and burial happened on February 14th.

Although the history of whoever was named after the holiday is not all certain and specific, we should just use it to make someone feel special, not necessarily someone we want to spend the rest of our life with but someone we'd always want to see happy or perhaps someone on the street, just to make them happy. Valentine's day is a day where we sometimes express feelings, make babies, go out and make out lol, go on dates and do any other thing we consider as happiness. Just make this Valentine's day a day to forever remember, take a step away from the usual activities of our normal life and be happy, you only live once. Thank you
