Much more than Valentine's Day, on February 14, Catholics celebrate Valentine's Day, a priest who lived in Rome in the 3rd century, during the rule of Claudius II. For the Roman government at the time, single men were not supposed to marry, but rather dedicate their lives to the army and the government. However, contrary to the rules of the time, Valentine continued to bless unions in a clandestine way.
Thus, upon discovering that Valentine was going against orders, Claudius II ordered his arrest and sentenced him to death on February 14, 269 d. W. It is said that during the period when he was trapped in the house of the pagan mayor, Valentine would have performed a miracle, healing the mayor's blind daughter. Therefore, he became holy to Catholics.
