History of St. Valentine.

st. Valentine was an Italian priest
who suffered martyrdom at Rome in
270 or at Telni in 306 Historians
differ as to date, Legend amplihes,
by dwelling on the virtues of his life
and the manner of his death, and tells
how ne was brought before the EN-
peror Claudis II, who asked why he
did not cultivate his friendship by
honoring his gods. AS Valentine
pleaded the cause of the one true
God earnestly. Calphurnis, the priest,
cried out that he was seducing the
emperor, whereupon he was sent to
Asterius to be judged TO him Val
entine spoke of Christ, the light of
the world, and Asterlus SAID: IF He
be the light of the world, He will re-
store the light Of my daughter, who
has been blind for two years" The
maiden was brought, and after Valen'
tine prayed and laid hands on her
she received her sight. Then Aster-
JUS asked that he and his household
might be baptized, whereat the en-
peror became enraged, caused all to
be imprisoned and Valentine to be
beaten with clubs. He was beheaded
a year after at Rome on February IA,
27O.
History, having little to tell con-
corning the man, makes amends by
dwelling at length on the ceremonies
observed on that day They trace
