基督教的) churchman who helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 1
4 more than 1 700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that.

Americans usually send gifts and cards through the mail system. But some use another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple and short, "Jane, I love you very much. "Others say more. This one, for example, "Dan, roses are ets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love yo
ver. Mary. "
