How did the tradition of Valentines Day poetry first begin? According to ancient legend, Saint Valentine, a third-century Roman priest, defied a law of Emperor Claudius II. The emperor had forbidden certain young solders from marrying, because he believed that marriage would cloud their judgment and lessen their interest in war.

Believing that the law was unjust, Saint Valentine continued to preform secret marriage ceremonies for young soldiers who wished to marry. As a result, Claudius ordered Valentine to be executed.

While imprisoned, St. Valentine was befriended by the jailer’s daughter who came to visit him. Prior to his execution, Valentine left a farewell letter to this young woman, and singed it ?From Your Valentine?. Thus the tradition of lovers sending Valentines day poems, letters and cards was born.
