Every February 14, the world, or most countries, celebrates the day of “Valentine” or “Love and friendship”, without knowing the true meaning of that day and in honor of who is remembered. We leave you a bit of history:
On February 14, 278, in Rome, the priest Valentine, sentenced to death for disobeying a ban on marriages imposed by the Emperor Claudius II.
During those times of bloody battles, Claudio wanted to create a great military force for his empire. However, due to difficulties in getting soldiers, he assumed that the Romans were unwilling to join the army because they were deeply attached to their wives and families.
The emperor’s solution was drastic: he forbade marriages and betrothals in Rome. The priest Valentin, who disagreed with the emperor’s unjust measures, continued celebrate marriages in secret.
Upon discovery, he was arrested and sentenced to death. The punishment was carried out on February 14: the priest was beaten to death and beheaded. After his death, Valentine was called saint.
Legend also says that Valentine left a farewell note to the jailer’s daughter, whom he had befriended, and signed it “From your Valentine.”
