Happy Valentine's Day

Why do we celebrate Valentine’s Day? I really wasn’t certain, so I did some research. There are quite a few theories, but most seem to focus on one of three saints named Valentine. Two of them were put to death by Emperor Claudius II, one for circumventing the law preventing young men from marrying, (which Claudius thought lessoned their prowess on the battlefield) and kept marrying them in secret. Thus, he became the “saint of love”. Another theory is another Valentine who became imprisoned for helping Christians escape prison. When imprisoned himself, he fell in love with someone who visited him in prison. Before his death, he wrote her a letter signed “from your Valentine”, which sentiments lingers today. Yet another theory had a Valentine involved with a blind girl whom he allegedly healed.
