A Note to Self

The second legend is about another Saint, named Valentine who helped Christian prisoners escape Toman jails until he was caught. The story says that, while in prison, he fell in love with his jailor’s daughter who came to visit. One version says that he healed the daughter before his death, thus converting the whole family to Christianity, though that sounds a little dry. The other one says that before dying, he left her a letter signed “From Your Valentine,” which is what we use today, or at least what we used to use, when sending letters for Valentine’s Day. Who really does that anymore, anyways?
