According to church tradition, St. Valentine was a priest near Rome in about the year 270 AD. At that time the Roman Emperor Claudius II issued an edict forbidding marriage. This was when the heyday of Roman Empire had almost come to an end. Lack of quality administrators led to frequent civil strife. Learning declined, taxation increased, and trade slumped to a low, precarious level. The Gauls, Slavs, Huns, Turks and Mongolians from Northern Europe and Asian increased their pressure on the empire's boundaries.   The Empire had grown too large to be shielded from external aggression and internal chaos with existing forces. Thus more capable men were required to be recruited as soldiers and officers. When Claudius became the Emperor, he felt that married men were emotionally attached to their families, and thus, would not make good soldiers. To assure quality soldiers, he banned marriage. Valentine, a Bishop, seeing the trauma of young lovers, met them in a secret place, and joined them in the sacrament of matrimony. Claudius learned of this "friend of lovers," and had him arrested. The Emperor impressed with the young priest's dignity and conviction, attempted to convert him to the Roman Gods, to save him from certain execution. Valentine refused to recognize Roman Gods and even attempted to convert the Emperor, knowing the consequences fully. On February 24, 270, Valentine was executed.
