Fun Fact

Valentine's Day, celebrated every February 14, is traditionally known as a day for lovers to express their affection for each other. A fun fact some people may not know is that this holiday initially had nothing to do with love. In fact, it was a day for commemorating Saint Valentine of Rome who was imprisoned and executed for assisting persecuted Christians during the Roman era. His execution day, which eventually turned into lovers' day, saw him leaving a note signed "your Valentine" for the jailor's daughter whom he had befriended. So, while you're enjoying your Valentine's chocolates and flowers, give a thought to Saint Valentine and his heroic life!
