Did You Know: That Valentines Originated From A Final Love Letter Signed... Sincerely, Your Valentine!


Where did Valentine's Day Originate? Was it a made up holiday for stores to make more money? Was it a special day created to break up the monotony of winter or was it something a wife started to get special attention from her mate.

Well Sammy came home today with many theories but he said the one that sounded the most believable was this one.

Back in Roman times, men were unable to marry because they were needed to fight as warriors not become domesticated servants to family and home life. Saint Valentine married against the law. Such crime was punishable by death. So, to death he was sentenced and in the last letter written to the love of his life he signed...
Sincerely,
Your Valentine!
I like this theory best too Sammy!
