The History of St. Valentine

St. Valentine was a priest who served in the 3rd century in Rome, Italy. After the Emperor Claudius banned marriage because he thought single men were better soldiers than married men, St. Valentine started marrying people in secret.

According to legend, when Valentine was discovered marrying people in secret, he was sentenced to death by the Emperor.

We at Apple Blossom Florist think that was a tad harsh.
