THERE. WE RE NO CARDS IN HIS DAY

Love’ and marty? dom? They
scarcely seem to go. hand in: hand
today — despite swooning : swains |
Sometimes: vowing, “Td die for my
love.”

But once ; upon: a time—nearly 17

centuries ago, so goes’ one mist-hung
legend—a. Roman priest named Val-
entine did die for love of all lovers.
And “before ‘his death he left: tender
little notes: for’ fr iends signed “Your
Valentine.” |

What was so “special about this
martyred priest that made his
name live through the: centuries?
Legend has it that he was. known as
the’ -‘‘Lovers’. Saint” “and was be-
headed on. the cruel Emperor Claud-.
jus’ orders on Feb. 14, 270 A-D., ‘for,
of.all things, inviting lovers to come
to him to be secretiy. married.

time -since “he found that married

Valentine thought this sad and un
just, and espoused the lovers’ cause
—setting up_ his. clandestine. mar-
riage bureau, ‘and sealing his ‘own

The church later made a saint of
Valentine, and alloted the day of his
death, Feb. 14, as a memorial day,
“the day for all: true lovers.”
