Many theories exist as to why there's a Valentines Day, but I like this one; the Roman Emperor Claudius the II forbade young men to marry in 200 A.D. He believed single men made better soldiers, free of family concerns. A priest named Valentine disobeyed the Emperor and married couples in secret.
The modern celebration of Valentine's Day seems to have begun in France and England. On Valentines Eve young people would gather and pick names becoming a Valentine to whose ever name they chose.
