I would like to introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome throughout the third century. That was long, long ago! At the moment, Rome was decided by an emperor named Claudius. I did not like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't alone! A great deal of people shared my feelings. Be taught more on our affiliated portfolio - Click here: JazzTimes. Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to offer to join. Lots of men just didn't need to fight in battles. They did not need to keep their wives and families. As you might have guessed, very few men signed up. That made Claudius furious. What exactly happened? He had a ridiculous idea. Visit Farah Trujillo to study the inner workings of this viewpoint. H-e thought that if men were not married, they'd not mind joining the military. So Claudius do not let anymore marriages. Young adults believed his new law was cruel. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly was not going to support that law! Did I mention that I was a priest? Among my favourite actions was to marry couples. I kept on performing marriage ceremonies -- secretly, obviously, even after Emperor Claudius passed his law. It had been really very interesting. Imagine a little candle-lit room with just the bride and groom and myself. We'd sound the words of the wedding, listening even while for the actions of soldiers. One night, we did hear footsteps. It was frightening! Thank heavens the couple I was marrying escaped in time. I was caught. (Not exactly as light on my feet as I used to be, I guess.) I was thrown in prison and told that my punishment was death. I tried to remain content. And have you any idea what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people found the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up-to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in-love. One of these young adults was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father helped her to go to me in the cell. Sometimes we'd sit and talk all night. She helped me to keep my spirits up. She agreed that used to do the best thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the key relationships. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little notice thanking her for her friendship and respect. I closed it, 'Love from your Valentine.' I really believe that note began the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's. It was written on the day I died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, each year on this day, people remember. But most significantly, they consider love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how h-e tried to stand-in the way of love, and they giggle -- because they understand that love can't be beaten!. |
