Valentine was a young priest who lived in Rome during the third century. He was jailed for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. While in prison, Valentine missed his loved ones behind. He sent them a message via a dove that frequently sat on his cell window. It said, "Remember your Valentine."
Saint Valentine was martyred for his great faith. On November 10, 1836, his relics were place in the Carmelite Church on Whitefriars Street in Dublin Ireland.
To this day, Saint Valentine remains the symbol of love... the love between God and us and our love for each other.
