February 14th is the Feast of Saint Valentinus (Valentine). Valentinus was a Catholic priest who was martyred (beheaded) on February 14 in 270 CE at the order of Claudius II. One legend is that while he was awaiting his execution, Valentinus restored the sight of his jailer's blind daughter and that, on the eve of his death, he wrote a farewell note to the jailer's daughter which he signed, "From your Valentine."
