❤️Saint Valentine’s Day. Would you like to know how it all started?❤️
⠀
About Valentine, who gave the holiday his name💫👇
⠀
Valentine lived in the 3rd century AD, in the Roman city of Terni. He was a simple Christian priest, other legends elevate him to the rank of bishop.
⠀
His life coincided with the time of the reign of the Roman emperor Claudius II, who honored the military prowess of the famous Roman legions. To preserve the military spirit, the emperor issued a decree prohibiting the legionnaires from marrying since the married person spends too much time in the family and thinks not about the good of the empire and military prowess.🤔💪
⠀
However the young Christian priest Valentine continued to secretly marry legionnaires in love. According to some reports, he reconciled the quarreling, wrote love letters instead of legionnaires, and gave flowers to the newly-married couples.💖🌸
⠀
It wasn’t possible to keep all this in secret and at the end of 269 AD. Valentine was taken into custody, and a decree on his execution was signed.✍️
⠀
According to legend, in the last days of Valentine’s life, the jailer’s blind daughter fell in love with him. Valentine, as a priest who took a vow of celibacy, couldn’t respond to her feelings, but on the night before the execution (February 13) he sent her a touching letter. To another version, Valentine was using his knowledge in medicine and healed her of blindness.🌟
⠀
There is no doubt that the young priest really died in the name of Love. This is why Valentine was chosen as the patron saint of all lovers.❤️🤗
