Background info: There are several accounts as to how the Valentine tradition began. One of the most popular stories, which explains why people exchange cards and messages on Valentine’s Day, involves a man named Valentine, who made friends with many local children. As an early Christian, Valentine refused to worship Roman gods, so the Romans put him in prison. The children all missed him dearly, so they wrote him messages and threw them through the window of his cell.

Other stories… Other sources say that Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14 because that was the day that Valentine was executed around A.D. 269.
