III. Read the following passage about Valentine’s day and answer the questions. (1 pt)
February 14 is Valentine Day. We celebrate Valentine Day by giving flowers, gifts, and cards to those
we love. We do this in honor of Saint Valentine. You may be wondering, “Who is Saint Valentine?”
Legend has it that Valentine was a priest in Rome in the third century. There was an Emperor at that
time by the name of Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II was recruiting a large number of men to serve as
soldiers for his wars without much success. The man preferred not to leave their wives, families, and
sweetheart to fight in the foreign lands. Claudius became angry and declared that no more marriages
could be performed and all engagements were cancelled. Valentine thought this was to be unfair and
secretly married several couples. When Claudius found out, he threw Valentine in prison, where he
died.
Another legend has it that Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with his jailer’s daughter.
Before he was put to death, he sent the first “valentine” himself when he wrote her a letter and signed it
“Your Valentine”, such words still on cards today.
Another Valentine gentleman you may be wondering about is Cupid. In Rome mythology, Cupid is the
son of Venus, goodness of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often
said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows,
causing them to fall in love.
Perhaps we will never know the true story behind the name Saint Valentine, but February has been the
month to celebrate love for a long time, dating back to the Middle Ages. In fact, Valentine Day ranks
second only to Christmas in the number of greeting cards sent.
