| | Saint Valentine’s Day, the official holiday of love, is celebrated every February 14th as a tribute to St. Valentine himself and as an expression of true passion for our loved ones. Famous lore says the emperor during the early centuries decided to ban marriage, believing unwed men just made better soldiers. Valentine, not agreeing with the ban, continued officiating marriages in secret. Eventually, he was caught and ordered to death for his “crimes of passion.” Today, the holiday has become warmly known for sharing thoughts and feelings of love. | | | | |
