"Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous, it does not put on airs, it is not snobbish. Love is never rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not prone to anger; neither does it brood over injuries. Love does not rejoice in what is wrong but rejoices with the truth. There is no limit to love's forbearance, to its trust, its hope, its power to endure."
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Valentine's Day is celebrated by giving candy, flowers or other gifts to someone we love and to people we cherish. It is a day to give thanks to God for our friends and all those who are close to our hearts.St. Valentine was a priest in Rome arrested under Claudius the Goth for practicing Christianity. He was committed to a magistrate named Asterius , who had a daughter who was blind. Valentine cured her and later converted her and the family. The emporer upon learning of this had him beaten, and then beheaded. His sentence was carried out the next day, February 14, 270 A.D., near a gate that was later named Porta Valenti in his memory. He was buried at what is now the Chruch of Praxedes in Rome.
There are several stories regarding the tradition of exchanging Valentine's cards and presents. One of them says that St. Valentine, while imprisoned, was sending messages to the daughter of Asterius and his friends. Today St. Valentine is the patron of engaged couples and those wishing to marry.
