From HistorySt. Valentine's Day as a lovers` festival dates at

least from the 14th century. Generations of young (and not very young) people have regarded St. Valentine as the friend and patron of those who are in love. However, St. Valentine is rather a mysterious figure. In Ancient Rome there were two martyrs of that name. One of them was a priest who perished in 269 AD, the other was a bishop who was executed in 273 AD. It is said that before the execution he sent a note of friendship to his jailer's blind daughter and signed it “Your Valentine". It is not clear, unfortunately, which of the two is really the lovers` saint. The few known facts of their lives are so interwoven with undocumented traditions that is impossible to separate fact from legend.
