legends tell different stories.
Now there is one of them.
A legend.
More than two thousand years ago there lived
a man named Valentine in Rome.
далее

He was a kind-hearted doctor who tried to help everybody.
In those days Christianity was a new religion. Valentine became a Christian priest and
prayed for the health of his patients. One day he was asked to cure a blind girl. But one
day he was arrested because he secretly married the young couples. When the little girl’s
father learned about Valentine’s arrest he was upset . Valentine understood that he would be put to death and he asked the girl’s father for a pen and a paper.
далее

He wrote a farewell note and handed it to him to give it to his blind daughter.
Valentine was executed on 14 th February
When the girl’s father went home he was greeted by his daughter. The girl opened the note and discovered a yellow crocus inside. The message said “ From your Valentine”. As the girl looked down upon the crocus she saw brilliant colours for the first time in her life. The girl’s eyesight was restored. A miracle. After his death Valentine was named a saint.
