Legend has it that today's celebration of love and affection was derived to honor St. Valentine, a 3rd-century romantic who continued to perform wedding ceremonies for young soldiers and their sweethearts even after the Roman emporer Claudius II forbade them to be bethrothed. Valentine was imprisoned and sentenced for execution on February 14th, whereupon he penned a farewell letter to his own sweetheart and signed it, "From your Valentine".
Happy Valentine's Day!
