different legends that have found their way to us

through the ages.

Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings.

On February 14, Valentine was beheaded, not only because he was a
Christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. He
supposedly cured the jailer’s daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer’s daughter a farewell letter, signing it, “ From Your Valentine.”

Another legend tell us that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, wrote notes from his jail cell to children and friends who missed him.

Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart. When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are whimsical so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.
