The legend of

Valentine's Day

montessorinature.com © Montessori Nature 2020

Saint Valentine lived a
long time ago when
Emperor Claudius II was
the ruler of Rome. At the
time, the most powerful
army in the world
belonged to the
Romans. Claudius II did
not like Christians.

He also wanted to
have a big army of
soldiers. He made a
law that they couldn’t
get married as he
believed that having
a family made them
weaker.

Valentine was a
Roman physician and
a priest. He married
the men and women
who wanted to get
married in his church
in secret.

Soon the word got
out and Valentine
was arrested. While
Valentine was in
prison, he used to
help the jailer’s
daughter with her
lessons.

The young woman
was blind. Valentine
became friends with
her through his work
when she came to
visit him in jail.

One day, Valentine
put his hand through
the bars of his cell
and touched her
closed eyes. When
she opened them
again, she could see.
It was a miracle.

Valentine’s
execution was set for
February the 14th.

On his last night, he
wrote his final
message to the girl.
He signed his letter,
“From your Valentine”.

This took place in the
year 270. Since then
people have sent
each other messages
on February the 14th
with the same
signature.
