Long long ago there was an Emperor called Claudius. He lived in Rome in a big palace.

Claudius wanted lots of men to join his army and go and fight in
different countries.

Most men did not want to fight wars because it meant leaving
their wives and families.

This made Claudius very angry so he
decided to make a new rule that people
could not get married. He thought if men did not have wives and children
then they would want to join his army.

Valentine was a priest. One of his jobs was to marry people. Even though Claudius had banned people
from getting married, Valentine would
marry people secretly – sometimes at night, whispering
so no one would hear them.

Valentine was caught and sent to prison.
Claudius said Valentine must be killed because he broke the law.

When people heard what had happened to Valentine they felt
very sad. Some people threw flowers and notes up to his
prison window.

One of the prison guards had a
daughter. He let her visit Valentine. They talked for hours and became very good
friends.

On the day that Valentine died. He sent a message to his friend
thanking her for her friendship.
He signed it ...
from your Valentine.
It was the 14th February.

Now every year on 14th February people send
Valentine cards to people they love and care for. Sometimes they want it to be a
secret so they sign it,
From your Valentine
