    What is Valentine's day?

    Why do we celebrate it?

    Valentine is the name of a person who lived long, long ago. We dont know exactly what he looked like but this is what he might have looked like.

    Long ago there was an Emperor called Claudius. He lived in Rome.

    Claudius wanted lots of men to join his army and go and fight in different countries.

    Not all men were happy to join the army. This made Claudius very angry so he decided to make a new rule that people could not get married. He thought if men did not have wives and children then they would want to join his army.

    Valentine was a priest. One of his jobs was to marry people. Even though Claudius had banned people from getting married, Valentine would marry people secretly

    Valentine was caught and sent to prison. Claudius said Valentine must be killed because he had broken the law.

    When people heard what had happened to Valentine they felt sorry for him and angry. Some people threw flowers and notes up to his prison window.

    One of the prison guards had a daughter who visited Valentine. On the day he died, February 14th., he wrote to his friend thanking her for her friendship. He signed it ...

    It was the 14 February.

    From From your Valentine Your Valentine th

    from your Valentine.

    Now every year on 14th February people send Valentine cards to people they love and care for. Sometimes they want it to be a secret so they sign it,

    From your Valentine

    From your Valentine
