It's that time of the year where we bust out our wallets to buy Valentine's Day cards, chocolates, and flowers to express our love for the ones that count most! Whether it being a family member, friend,

or your boo, it's that time to show how much you care. We celebrate this loving day on the 14th of February but no one knows where it really came about. Valentine's Day originated as a Christian-based celebration of St. Valentine, a Roman saint in the third century.

There are legends about him and how he became so well-known. Some include

of Valentine being a priest when Emperor Claudius II concluded that single

men preform better as soldiers than those whom of which are married with

children and banned young men from marrying. Valentine thought this as

an injustice and continued to marry off young men in secret. Another

legend claims that a man named Valentine was in prison but sent the

first ever Valentine's Day card to a young woman whom visited him

during his confinement. Before his execution, he signed his letter:

"From your Valentine" which is a phrase people still use today.

Valentine's Day is a day in which we celebrate his death

or burial which occurred around A.D. 270

on February 14th. Happy Valentine's Day

and remember to give a hug

and share the love!
