A ❤️Special ❤️Valentine ❤️Message❤️ from ❤️Primary Three

💕 Saint Valentine lived a long long time ago when Claudius II was the ruler of Rome. Claudius II did not like his soldiers getting married. 💕

Claudius II thought having soldiers for his wars was so important that he made a law that people couldn’t get married. Claudius II thought that if young boys got married and had families they would not want to go off and fight in his wars.

💕 Saint Valentine, had the special job of being God’s helper during this time. He was a priest, so he would marry the men and women who wanted to get married in secret. This is why he is called the patron saint of 💕 love and marriage.
