2. History of the holiday St. Valentine’s Day has its roots in several legends. This is the legend of how St. Valentine’s Day began. Valentine lived in Rome in the times of the Emperor Claudius II nearly 17 centuries ago. When Roman Emperor Claudius II needed soldiers, he made a law against marrying because he felt that marriage made men want to stay at home instead of fighting wars. But the priest Valentine couldn’t agree with the Emperor’s decision. When he saw that young couples were truly in love, he married them secretly. He was caught and put into prison and sentenced to the death.
