Saint Valentine history is impossible to be obtained from any records and the blanket of centuries gone by has made the origin behind valentine more difficult to trace. Some historians said about Saint Valentine history. He is being a bishop who held secret marriage ceremonies of soldiers in opposition to Claudius II. Due to this Roman Empire faced crisis from all sides. When Claudius crowned as emperor, he felt that married soldiers were more emotionally attached to their kids and families, and thus, will not make good soldiers for his kingdom. Thus he banned the marriage of soldiers; this ban on getting married was a great shock for the Romans. But they dared not voice their protest against the mighty emperor. The kindly bishop Valentine also experienced the injustice of the decree. It was only a matter of time before Claudius came to know of this and had he arrested.
It was said that St. Valentine had some saintly powers and one of them granted him the magical ability to heal people. It is said that just before his execution, Valentine signed a farewell message to her "From Your Valentine," a phrase that lived ever after.
There are so many unclear doubts about the actual identity of Saint Valentine, but we can feel that that he really existed somewhere in the heart of people and the archaeologists also disclosed some fact, The have recently unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to a Saint Valentine. |
