The History of Valentine's Day
One night, he was caught by soldiers. He was thrown in jail and told that
his punishment was death.
One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her
father allowed her to visit Valentine in the cell. Sometimes they would sit
and talk for hours. She helped him to keep his spirits up. She agreed that
Valentine did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead
with the secret marriages. On the day he was to die, he left his friend a
little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty.He signed it, "Love
from your Valentine."
