 History of St. Valentine`s Day
• Saint Valentine the Patron Saint of Marriage
• Here’s his story in a simple way retold for our kids to understand.
• Hi, I’m Saint Valentine. I lived a long long time ago when Claudius II was the ruler of Rome.
There were two important things to know about this king. First, Claudius II did not like
Christians. Second, he loved having lots of soldiers to fight in his wars!
• Claudius II thought having soldiers for his wars was so important that he made a law that people
couldn’t get married. Claudius II thought that if young boys got married and had families they
would not want to go off and fight in his wars.
• This made things really tricky for the Christians following God. First, they knew that God wanted
them to worship Him, not the false gods of Claudius II. Second, they knew that God wanted them
to get married and start families.
• I, Saint Valentine, had the special job of being God’s helper during this time. I was a priest, so I
would marry the men and women who wanted to get married. This is why I am called the patron
saint of love and marriage.
