The Origin of Valentines Day

Valentines Day, which is celebrated on Feb. 14, is celebrated as a day of sharing love. It is most widely remembered in honor of Saint Valentine who is said to be a Christian martyr who gave his life for believing in Christianity. His teaching of love is what he is remembered for though. There is another theory that he infact had a mistress who wouldn't marry hime so he cut out his heart and set it it her.
