A look at February 12, 1981 -
"There were at least eight men with
the name Valentine, seven of whose religious
feast days fall on Feb. 14," according to Dr. Lee W. Gibbs, acting
chairman of the department of religious
studies at Cleveland State University, "One of the most credible
legends dates back to around 269 A.D.,
when Valentine, a priest in Rome, defied
Emperor Claudius II's belief that single
men made better soldiers. The priest,
thinking this attitude was unfair, joined
several couples in matrimony."
