A priest named Valentine broke the rule and secretly married a great number of young people. Finally, Claudius found out about Valentine and put the priest in prison, where he remained until his death on February 14.
After his death, Valentine was made a saint and the day of his death was named Saint Valentine’s Day----which is a time for people to send one another their greeting of many kinds.
