Valentine’s Day was named for a Roman priest named Valentine who performed secret weddings for young couples. He was sentenced to death because marrying young men was outlawed by Claudius II who believed that single men made better soldiers. Pope Gelasius declared February 14 as a day to remember and honor Saint Valentine. Since then the day has become very popular as a day express one’s love for another.
