💘 Happy Valentine's Day! 💘
Did you know Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine, a rebel with a big heart? 💕 Back in AD 420, Emperor Claudius banned marriage because he thought single men made better soldiers. But Valentine wasn’t having it—he secretly performed weddings anyway! When the emperor found out, he had Valentine executed. 😢
But here’s the romantic twist—while in jail, Valentine fell for the blind daughter of his jailer. Before his ex*****on, he left her a note signed "From your Valentine"—and that’s how the tradition began!
So today, honour his legacy—spread love, tell your special people how much they mean to you, and share a little romance! 💌💕
