The origin of Valentine’s Day is riddled with myth. What we do know is that February has long been a month of romance.

Valentine, who later became St. Valentine, was a priest who sent the first "valentine" greeting himself.

Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed "From your Valentine"
