ST. VALENTINE’S DAY.
The 14th day of February, dear to
the hearts of all youth. It is said a
fact in natural history, to wit, that
birds in Southern Europe pair about
the middle of February, is the actual j
origin of the association of sentiment
with this date. There is no doubt 1
that the custom of sending valentines
can be traced in origin to a practice
among the ancient Romans. # I
St. Valentine was a bishop of Rome
during the 3d century. He is reported
to have been a man of most atnibable
nature and remarkable gifts of elo
quence, so that he was very successful in
converting the pagan Romans to Chris
tianity. For this reason he naturally
* incurred the displeasure of the Emp
eror Mascus Aurelius Claudius, who
hated and persecuted the little Chris
tian band, and he was martyred by
order of that ruler, first beaten with
clubs and then beheaded. The date of
his death was February 14, 270. His
.bonesare still exhibited to the credul
ous traveler at the church of St. Prax
edes, in Rome. Pope Julius erected a
church to this worthy martyr’s memory
and the gate leading to it, which is
now the Porta del Popolo, was known
for several centuries as the Porta Val
entini. Archbishop Wheatley, in his!
“Illustrations of the Book of Common
Prayer,” says that St. Valentine was
a man of admirable parts, and so fam
ous for his love and charity that the
custom of choosing valentines on this
festival (which is still practiced) took j
its rise from thence.” It is probable j
that the connection of name came from
a coincidence of date only. When the
saint came to be placed in the calen- ,
dar, his name was given the day of
his death, and this was made a festival j
to offset that of the Lupercalia, on the
loth.
