St. Valentine’s day
St. Valentine’s Day has roots in several different legends that have found A____ way to us through the ages. One of the earliest popular symbols of the day is Cupid, the Roman god of Love, who is represented by the image of a young boy with bow and arrow. Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. On February 14, Valentine was beheaded, not only because he B____ a Christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. He supposedly C____ the jailer’s daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer’s daughter a farewell letter, signing it, “From Your Valentine”. Another legend tells D____ that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, wrote notes from his jail cell to children and friends who missed him. February, 14 was also a Roman holiday, held in honour of a goddess. Young men randomly chose the name of a E____ girl to escort to the festivities. The custom of choosing a sweetheart on this date spread through Europe in the Middle Ages, and then to the early American colonies.
