Question 347

Although there is no official record of such an incident ever taking place,the story goes that in the third century BC,the roman emperor,Claudius II,imprisoned a young priest guilty of secretly conducting the marriage of several roman soldiers.The priest was executed for his crimes.Before being executed,the young priest sent a message to his beloved,reaching out to her with his love.
In reality,nothing is known of him except his name and the fact that he was buried at the Via flaminia north of rome on a particular date and that a feast is given in his name on that particular date.It is unclear,however whether the feast of that day celebrates one saint or more saints of the same name.
How is this person remembered widely even today?

Answer:Saint Valentine,remembered through the celebration of love on Feb 14, Valentine's day.
