love

In ancient Rome everything was as usual for young people.Guys would meet girls they like and ask them out.If the girl was interested they would start dating and if everything went well they would get engaged.Eventually they would get married and have children.They would become a family.But of course It’s hard for a married man who has a family to leave his family and join wars.And so the emperor of Rome, Claudius, made a decision.

Claudius decided that the men in Rome were no longer allowed to have families.He thought that men who were single would make better soldiers.So he outlawed marriage for young men.

But there was a priest named st.Valentine who thought that this was unfair.He defied the emperor and helped young couples get married in secret.One day when he was performing a marriage (for a couple), he heard the footsteps of soldiers.The soldiers caught him before he could escape and the emperor sentenced st.Valentine to death.

Then something happened.Everyone who heard about st.Valentine started to visit him in jail.They left flowers for him.

Even the daughter of the person who guards his cell started to visit him.They sat together and talked for hours everyday.Eventually they fell in love.On the day of st.Valentines execution the daughter of the guard got a note.And on that note were written the words…From your valentine…And that was the first valentines note… ever.
