2 ST VALENTINE’S DAY In the third century there lived a Roman priest named Valentine. The Emperor at that time, Claudius ll, banned (=verbieden) marriages because he believed unmarried men were better soldiers!?! Valentine did not accept this law and married couples in secret. When Claudius found out, he sentenced Valentine to death.

3 ST. VALENTINE’S DAY While he was in prison, he fell in love with the jailer’s daughter and just before he was put to death, on 14th Febraury, he wrote a final message to her and signed it From your Valentine. Not long after his death, Valentine was made a saint.
