What do you do on Saint Valentine’s Day?
This has become a great business on behalf of love. But how much do we know
about the origins of this celebration?
The exact
person we honor on February 14, St. Valentine, is hidden in the obscurities of
the first three centuries of Church history. The feast may be in honor of a
priest, Valentine, who was known to counsel and marry young couples. This
was at the time when Roman law persecuted Christians, so Valentine eventually
incurred the wrath of Emperor Claudius II and was imprisoned. When
Valentine turned his attention to converting the Emperor himself, Claudius had
him put to death.
