The First Valentine

We tend to think of Valentine's Day cards as life-affirming, pleasant notes indicating our appreciation of one another. The first Valentine card was a little different! When Roman emperor Claudius ordered the execution of a disobedient priest, the clergyman (Valentine) somehow found an opportunity to send a written message to a loved one.

The small note was signed, "your Valentine." The priest was executed on February 14. Later, after his canonization our current holiday came into being. The first Valentine wasn't a cute message in the shape of a heart-it was a last message from a condemned martyr.
