Whether you consider it a day of love or nothing more than a ploy by card makers and florists, today, Feb. 14, is Valentine’s Day.
The day takes its name from St. Valentine of Terni, who has become linked with the idea of courtly love. Valentine was reportedly killed on Feb. 14 for refusing to deny Christ by the order of Emperor Claudius in the year 280 and for continuing to marry Christian couples - specifically soldiers - despite existing prohibitions.
The most commonly repeated legend - though not founded in fact - was that Valentine’s prayers healed the blind daughter of a guard where he was jailed. On the day of his execution, he reportedly left the young girl a note signed “Your Valentine.”
Today, Valentine’s is a billion dollar enterprise, thanks to cards, flowers, candy, jewelry and more.
