St. Vincent was a Christian Saint who was martyred (meaning, put to death) in the name of love! As the story goes, the year was 289 AD when the Roman Emperor Claudius the 2nd set a law that young men could not get married.
He believed single men were better soldiers than those with wives of children. Valentine thought this law was cruel and unjust. So he performed marriages in secret.
Sadly, when Claudius discovered this, he did what most barbaric rulers do in those days and had him put to death!
Other legends tell that Valentine might have been killed while trying to help Christians flee Roman prisons where they were tortured.
Legend has it...
Before his death he wrote a letter to his lady-love, signed, "From your Valentine."
By the time The Roman Empire Fell (476 AD), St Vincent was the most popular saint in England and France!
Talk about mixed emotions, right? Sad, heroic, tragic, romantic, where do I start?
And how do I turn this into a happy ending feel-good message!
