The history of Valentine’s Day
The exact origin of Valentine’s Day is a little unclear, but perhaps the most popular story is of a kind priest named Valentine who, after the emperor banned soldiers from marrying, continued to wed couples in secret. The priest was caught and sentenced to death for his crime, but not before he left a goodbye note and signed it 'from your Valentine'. Over the years, this dark origin has transformed into the romantic tradition of card-sending and gift-giving that we celebrate today.
