A Valentine 💘 Gift for You!

12th Feb 2024

Who was Saint Valentine?

Saint Valentine lived a long long time ago when Claudius II was the ruler of Rome. 

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 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.

The children in P3 made a special Valentine's treat to give to their families and friends.
