Saint Valentine Coloring Page

Nobody knows for certain which Valentine the holiday is named after. Early Christian writers mention at least two, and one of them was a priest in Rome who died around 269 AD. A popular legend says he secretly married couples when the emperor had banned it.

Whatever the real story is, February 14 has been Saint Valentine’s Day for more than 1,500 years. Over time the day became linked with love, and people started to send each other cards and messages on it.
