Valentine's Day

Did you know every Valentine's Day Verona, Italy, where the lovers from Romeo and Juliet lived, receives about 1,000 letters addressed to Juliet?

The Origin of Valentine's Day.
The popular theory about the origin of Valentine's Day was that there was this man who was called Emperor Claudius the Second that didn't want Roman men to marry during wartime. However, Bishop Valentine was against this and disobeyed the Emperor by performing secret weddings. After, Valentine was placed in jail and later executed. But, during the time he spent in jail, he wrote a note to the jailer's daughter signing it "from your Valentine".
