Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Word Origins 24.
-
The Word origin today is Valentine's Day.
-
Okay.
-
So let's look at the note here.
-
There are actually three different saints named Valentine recognized by the Catholic
-
church and all were martyred.
-
They all ended up being put to death.
-
The legend most likely connected to the origin of Valentine's Day was a priest who lived
-
during the third century in Rome.
-
The emperor at that time Claudius II, Believed single men were better soldiers than those
-
with a wife and a family.
-
Of course married men were more obligated to a wife and a family and realized their
-
death would be devastating.
-
Well devastating to their family , especially back at that time.
-
If he got killed they were kind of left just helpless..
-
So he would probably... he'd fight but he wouldn't take as many chances.
-
Maybe he wouldn't fight as hard.
-
So the emperor kind of realized this. Okay.
-
Let's continue here.
-
Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men.
-
He wanted a lot of better soldiers.
-
Valentine of course understood this was an unjust tyrannical law and defied it.
-
So he went against it.
-
He said this is a crazy law.
-
I am going to still marry people no matter what.
-
Yes.
-
By continuing to secretly perform marriages for young couples . So he went against the
-
emperor and he still married people.
-
Even though it was against the law. and so he put his life in danger in this sense.
-
Okay.
-
Let's continue here.
-
After it was discovered the emperor ordered Valentine to be imprisoned and eventually
-
be put to death.
-
However , before his death there are some who claim Valentine may have in fact sent
-
the first Valentine, Valentine letter or card.
-
He fell in love with the daughter of his jailor or maybe we should say she fell in love with
-
him in which she often visited him before he was put to death.
-
and he wrote a letter to her before he died and signed it from your Valentine.
-
So this is where we got the idea.
-
Obviously, he was very good to saving lovers.
-
Perhaps he wrote the first Valentine.
-
Anyway, this is the legend this is the story.
-
Supposedly of how Valentine's Day originated.
-
Or how it started. Anyway, I hope you got it , I hope it is clear.
-
Thank you for your time.
-
Bye-bye.
