Actually, I really don't know why the Valentine's day is called "Valentine" and the true story behind it. All i know is just a special day for lovers to celebrate their meaningful relationship. Now, I finally find it out and know the story of Valentine.....
Lovers around the world can thank a Roman priest for our celebration of love on February 14.
During the mid 200's Emperor Claudius II of Rome banned marriages or engagements due to the difficulty of enlisting soldiers in the military. Valentine, a Christian priest, secretly married couples despite the emperor's decree. Eventually, Valentine was imprisoned and put to death on February 14, 270. As history unfolded and the Christian Church gained more power in Rome, the priests began to eliminate pagan festivals. Lupercalia, an ancient Roman festival celebrating fertility was replaced by honoring St. Valentine's Day.
