The Story of St. Valentine.

St. Valentine’s day is a special day for lovers. How did it start? There are many stories about this.

Some people say Valentine was a priest in Rome many years ago Emperor Claudius didn't want young men to merry.

He wanted them to be soldiers. Young couples went secretly to Valentine and he married them.

Claudius was angry and put Valentine in prison. He killed him on February the 14th.

Other people say Valentine was a Christian martyr. While he was in prison he fell in love with the jailers daughter.

When it was time for him to die, he wrote a message on the prison wall saying, "From your Valentine. "

And other people say it's the time that birds choose their mates and it simply happens to be the same day as the day celebrating a Christian Saint.

William Shakespeare.

“Love — over a storm a lifted beacon,

Does not grow dim in a gloom and a fog.

Love — a star, which seaman

Defines a place at ocean.”

“The true love cannot speak, because the true feeling is expressed more likely by business, than words.”

“The love runs from those who pursues it, and that who away runs throws the arms round a neck..”

“Love — blind, tell, But also without eyes road to the purpose sees.”

Romeo  and  Juliet.
