Did you know that Valentine was a Roman priest that married young lovers in secret after the emperor decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives? When Valentine’s actions were discovered, the emperor ordered that he be put to death and we celebrate the day of his burial. Yaaay! Sweet story, eh?
