On February 14th many people in the
world celebrate an unusual holiday, St.
Valentine's Day, a
special
day
for
lovers.
The
origin
of
this
holiday
is
uncertain
but
according
to
one
story
it
gets
its
name from a Christian
named Valentine who lived in Rome during the 3rd
century A.D. His job was
to
perform
marriages
for
Christian
couples.
Unfortunately,
the
Emperor
of
Rome
didn't
allow
Christian marriages. So they had to be
performed in secret. Finally Valentine was
arrested and put into
prison. While he
was in prison he fell in love with the daughter of
the prison guard. After one year the
Emperor
offered
to
release
Valentine
if
he
would
stop
performing
Christian
marriages.
Valentine
refused and so he was killed in
February, 270 A.D. Before he was killed Valentine
sent a love letter to
the
daughter
of
the
prison
guard.
He
signed
the
letter
your
Valentine
That
was
the
first
Valentine.
Today
Valentines
are
cards usually
red
and
shaped
like
hearts
with
messages of
love
written
in
them.
On
Valentine's
Day
tens
of
millions
of
people

and

Valentines. Whether
it
is
an

chocolates from a secret admirer or a simple hand-
made card from a
child, a Valentine is
