HAPPY ST VALENTINE'S!!!!

Do you know the popular legend of St Valentine's?

The legend says that Valentine was a priest in Rome during the reign of Emperor Claudius II. Under his regime, Claudius is said to have engaged Rome into several bloody battles. To strengthen his army, the Emperor continuously needed to recruit soldiers.

However, Claudius found that not many soldiers were keen to join the army because of their affection towards their wives and families. So, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. Therefore, Valentine secretly arranged marriages of young men and women. When Valentine's defiance was discovered by the Emperor, he was brutally beaten up and put to death on February 14, about 270 AD.
