How Valentine's day started:-


According to a book named 'Aurea of ​​Jacobus de Varagin', Saint Valentine was a priest of Rome. He believed in promoting love in the world. For him life was in love. But a king of this city, Claudius, did not like this thing of his. The king felt that love and marriage destroy both the intelligence and power of men. For this reason, soldiers and officers could not marry in his state.


However, Saint Valentine opposed this order of King Claudius and inspired the Romans to love and marry. Not only this, he also got the marriages of many officers and soldiers done. This angered the king and he hanged Saint Valentine on 14 February 269. From that day every year this day is celebrated as 'Day of Love'.

Saint Valentine is said to have donated his eyes to Jacobus, the jailer's blind daughter, at the time of his death. Saint also wrote a letter to Jacobus, at the end of which he wrote 'Your Valentine'. This was the story of Valentine who was sacrificed for love.
