Valentine Day Gifts
Valentine’s Day is in the air as Feb. 14th approaches. We must thank Saint Valentine, who advocated Love. He sacrificed his life for love. The Roman Emperors were against the marriage of Roman Soldiers. This holy saint played Cupid and helped them getting married. But his work was not liked by the Emperor and got martyred. 14th February is celebrated as Valentine's Day to pay respect to the Saint of Love. Catholic history has three Valentines in records. It is confusing to pin point about the right Saint Valentine. But a majority of historians advocate that the Saint who was killed for helping in the Roman soldiers marriages in the Saint Valentine from 3rd century BC.
