Valentines Day is a popular holiday along With many other pagan days that people celebrate. Though many people keep it, they don't know what its about. Kathy and her sister Missie face these every day, HERE is one of their stories: AS KATHY WALKED THROUGH THE SCHOOL SHE SAW MISSIE AND JOINED HER AS THEY WALKED TO THE MATH ROOM. TODAY WAS MONDAY, SHOW AND TELL DAY.

THEY SAT DOWN AND TO THEIR SURPRISE MISS BELL SAID,”TODAY WE WILL MAKE VALENTINES CARDS AND TELL WHO THEY ARE FOR. NOW KAT AND MISSIE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND REMEMBEREDTHE VERSE THEIR DAD TOLD THEM “THAT YOU SHALL NOT LEARN THE WAYS OF THE HEATHEN.” WHEN THE TEACHER CAME TO THEIR DESK SHE SAID,”HERE ARE SOME SUPPLIES TO MAKE CARDS”. KAT THOUGHT ABOUT THAT AND SAID, ”NO THANK YOU”, MISS BELL LOOKED SUPRISED AND ASKED WHAT THEY WOULD SHOW. THEY SAID, “ WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY’.

MISSIE BEGAN, ”VALENTINE WAS A PREIST WHO LIVED IN ROME, HE WAS ALSO A CHR-STIAN AND A HEALER. CLAUDIUS WAS THE RULER OF ROME AT THAT TIME. CLAUDIUS HAD SAID THAT YOUNG MEN COULD BETTER SERVE THE ARMY IF THEY WERE SINGLE. BUT VALENTINE CONTINUED TO HOLD SECRET MARRIAGES FOR THE MEN. WHEN CLAUDIUS FOUND OUT HE THREW VALENTINE IN JAIL.

WHILE VALENTINE WAS IN JAIL HE MET A JAILERS DAUGHTER WHO WAS BLIND AND SICK. ONE DAY VALENTINE HEALED HER AND AND BEFRIENDED HER. CLAUDIUS WAS STILL UPSET ABOUT THE SECRET MARRIAGES AND DECIDED TO BEHEAD VALENTINE. BEFORE HE DIED, VALENTINE, SENT A CARD TO THE JAILERS DAUGHTER BECAUSE HE LIKED HER.

THIS IS HOW THE CELEBRATION OF VALENTINES DAY BEGAN.
