From your valentine 

Every holiday has a story

The story of how Valentine's day came to be is a dark story

This story is not happy

Saint Valentine is a priest

He is responsible for this holiday

Long ago there was an emperor

Emperor Claudius the second

There was a lot going on in this time period

The main point of this story is love

Love that was banned

Emperor Claudius put a ban on love

Meaning no marriage

No one wanted to stand against the emperor

So this is were Valentine comes in

Standing for love

Valentine started to marry people

Once he was caught by the emperor

He was arrested and put up for execution

Now although Valentine went through execution

He is recognized for giving love to others

This story has many sides

One way it ends is with a lady named Julia

She goes and visits saint Valentine

Talking to him about God

On the day of his death

He leaves a not

From your Valentine
