The Legend of Saint Valentine

I like this story taken from the Discalced Carmelite Friars’ Valentine’s card: The legend of Saint Valentine

Valentine was a young priest who lived in Rome during the third century. He was jailed for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. While in prison, Valentine missed his loved ones left behind. He sent them a message via a dove that frequently sat on his cell window. It said “Remember your Valentine.”

Saint Valentine was martyred for his great faith. On November 10, 1836, his relics were placed in the Camelite Church on Whitefriars Street in Dublin, Ireland.

To this day, Saint Valentine remains the symbol of love…the love between God and us and our love for each other

‘Hope to keep it that way. Happy Saint Valentine’s Day-iloilo hangout
