A little bit about the history of the holiday
There is a very beautiful legend about the appearanceValentine's Day. Once upon a time, in the 3rd century AD, there lived Emperor Claudius, who forbade men of the Roman Empire from marrying. And not because he did not believe in the sanctity of marriage, but because he believed that families distracted his soldiers from service. Having issued a decree banning, he decided that he had once and for all eliminated the problem of slovenliness in his own army. But young guys and respectable men continued to fall in love, and the desire to make their beloved women their wives did not go away. However, the law is the law, and none of them could officially marry. This is where the priest Valentine comes into play, who was not afraid of the imperial ban and continued to secretly marry lovers. Upon learning of this, Claudius was seriously angry. He ordered Valentine to be thrown into prison and sentenced him to death! In prison, the poor priest met the jailer's daughter, and they fell in love. They could not see each other often, so they communicated through notes. The execution was scheduled for February 14, and on this day, the enamored priest sent his last note, which he signed: "From Valentine." There is another version of this sad legend, according to which the priest thrown into prison had the gift of healing. The jailer arranged a meeting between Valentine and his blind daughter, hoping that he could restore her sight. On the day of his execution, Valentine sent the girl a farewell letter with a declaration of love, in which he put a leaf of yellow saffron. Touching this sign of love, the girl regained her sight. Since then, February 14 has turned from an ordinary calendar date into a holiday for all lovers, and men and women gave each other notes in the shape of a heart with words of love. In honor of St. Valentine, the cards were called "valentines", and this holiday has successfully survived to this day. Not only did it survive, but it also captured almost the entire planet, because now this wonderful day is celebrated by thousands of people in almost every country.
