So see that Valentine's day was named after a person. Whose name was valentine. You should know that the beginning of the story of this day of love was not full of love. This story is about the encounter between an evil king and a benevolent saint valentine. This day begins from the third century of Rome where there used to be a tyrannical king named Claudius. The king of Rome believed that a single and unmarried soldier can become a proper intelligence and effective soldier for the war than a married soldier because the married soldier is always worried about only one thing that if he will die, what will happen to his family after death, who will take care of his family. And because of this worry, he is not able to give his full attention in the war. Thinking of this, King Claudius announced that no soldier of his kingdom would marry and anyone who disobeyed his order would be severely punished. All the soldiers were saddened by this decision of the king and they also knew that this decision was wrong, but due to the fear of the king, no one dared to violate it and were forced to follow his order.

But Saint Valentine of Rome did not approve of this injustice at all, so he helped the young soldiers by hiding from the king and got them married. Those soldiers who wanted to marry their girlfriend used to go to Valentine to seek help and Valentine also helped them and got them married. Similarly, Valentine had got many soldiers married secretly. But the truth cannot be hidden for long, someday it comes out in front of everyone. In the same way, one day the news about this act of Valentine also reached the ear of Claudius king. Valentine did not obey the king's order, so the king sentenced Valentine to death and he was put in jail.

Valentine was waiting for the date of his death inside the jail and one day a jailor named Asterius came to him. The people of Rome used to say that Valentine had a divine power, using which he could get rid of diseases. Asterius had a blind daughter and he knew about the magical power possessed by Valentine , so he went to valentine and begged him to heal his daughter's eyesight with his divine power. Valentine was a noble hearted person and he used to help everyone, so he also helped the jailor and cured his blind daughter's eyes with his divine power. From that day onwards, there was a deep friendship between Valentine and Asterius's daughter and they didn't know when that friendship turned into love. Thinking that Valentine's death is about to happen to the daughter of Asterius, she was deeply shocked. And finally that day had come on February 14, the day Valentine was about to be hanged. Before his death valentine asked jailor for a pen and paper and in that paper he wrote goodbye message for jailor's daughter, at the end of the page he wrote "your Valentine", these are the words that people still remember .

Due to this sacrifice of Valentine, February 14 was named after him and on this day all the loving people all over the world remember Valentine and share love with each other. On this day all the loving people express their love by giving flowers, gifts and chocolates to their lover and girlfriend. So this is the story of Valentine.

So you guys from above history we have known the history of Valentine's Day which is celebrated every year on 14th February.
