History of Valentine’s Day

The most famous legend began in Rome, when the Emperor, Claudius II, was involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns. “Claudius the Cruel” as he was called, was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that the reason was that Roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. So, he cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome!
The good Saint Valentine, who was a priest in Rome, in the year 269 A.D., together with his friend Saint Marius, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.
When Valentine's actions were discovered, he was sentenced to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off.
But while in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young woman who may have been the daughter of his jailer named Asterius, who visited him during his confinement. Valentine would have miraculously made to regain vision, and his supposed miracle turned into a saint. Before his death on February 14, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, as he signed "from your Valentine", which is still widely used in the U.S., and he received notes and letters from young people who say believe in love.
The Valentine's Day is celebrated in Brazil on June 12. This date was chosen to be the eve of the anniversary of the death of San Antonio.
