According to legend, Valentine was a Christian priest who lived in the 3rd century during the reign of Emperor Claudius. At that time, Roman soldiers did not have the right to marry and create a family - the emperor believed that this prevented them from fighting. Despite the ban, Valentine married soldiers and their brides.

There is also a legend according to which Valentine restored the sight of the blind daughter of one of the officers with whom he fell in love. After that, her family converted to Christianity. It was for this that he was allegedly beheaded on February 14. However, there were at least three more Valentines who are honored by the Catholic Church, so there are many legends surrounding the figure of the patron saint of lovers.

Such theories exist. And who will you spend Valentine's Day with??
