    The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs, Saint Valentine, and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD.

    Valentine was a priest that was imprisoned for giving the rights of ordinary folk to love each other, he was jailed in order to send the men away to war away from their loved ones. In prison there was a blind girl that was called the "gaolers daughter". Look it up on the web its there.

    Valentines day was made up by the card companies in cahoots with candy manufacturers to increase business. Same thing with Sweetest Day.
