The challenge of St. Valentine posted by jwatson on Feb 14, 2013
February 14, 270: According to tradition, Valentine, a priest in Rome during the reign of Claudius II, is beheaded along the Flaminian Way.
One explanation for Valentine”s subsequent relationship to the romantic holiday is this: Claudius, seeking to more easily recruit soldiers, removed family ties by forbidding marriage.
Valentine ignored the order and performed secret marriages—an act that led to his arrest and execution.

What sacrifice(s) have you made for Christ”s kingdom?
