St. Valentine's Day

St. Valentine is known as the "patron saint of lovers".
Legend is that St. Valentine was martyred on February 14, 269 A.D.,
for refusing to give up his Christian Faith. On the day he died,
he sent a note to the girl he loved, the jailer's daughter,
signed "From your Valentine. This is why many Valentine cards end
with --- "From your Valentine" today!!!

From page 45, Always Growing in the Faith by Gene Dirr.
