On February 14, Valentine was beheaded, not only because he was a Christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. He supposedly C the jailer’s daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer’s daughter a farewell letter, signing it, “From Your Valentine”. Another legend D us that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, wrote notes from his jail cell to children and friends who missed him. February, 14 was also a Roman holiday, held in E of a goddess. Young men randomly chose the name of a young girl to escort to the festivities.
