4. Valentine’s Day - February 14
On Valentine’s Day children and adults send or give cards, gifts, flowers, and candy to their
family and friends. It is a wonderful, fun, loving, and caring day. It is a very
special time to tell those around you how much you care about them.
Valentine’s Day falls on February 14th. Children can’t wait to go to
school or see their friends exchange that special valentine card. They make
special boxes and holders to put their cards in for safe keeping.
Many children make cards and gifts for older people who are lonely or in care centers. One
day children in a first grade class took a very large roll of pink paper. The teacher told them
they could draw Valentine pictures anywhere on the paper. The children were all excited. They
worked and colored for three days whenever they had free time. When they finished, it was
beautiful!
The children were happy. They took it to share with the older people
in the care center. The care center used the pink roll of paper as a
tablecloth. Many treats were placed on it. When the older people came in
they were surprised. They told the children that they were very kind.
They all sat down and began to eat the treats.
The first graders were happy because they made others happy that day.
Try to think of someone you can make happy on Valentine’s Day. Make
them feel special.
Draw a picture of what you would have drawn on the pink roll of paper.

5. Valentine’s Day - February 14
Valentine’s Day is one of the favorite and oldest holidays we celebrate.
Legend has it that Valentine’s Day was named for a Christian priest who was put in jail
many, many years ago. He was jailed around A.D. 270. He was a very kind person who helped
many people. He would marry couples secretly against the Emperor’s
wishes.
The Emperor thought all young men should be soldiers. The
Emperor had Valentine put in jail. The Emperor wanted Valentine to
be put to death. Valentine had become friends with the jailer’s
daughter who was blind. Before he died, he gave her a card. He
signed it, “From your Valentine.”
This is one of the reasons Valentine’s Day is associated with love and courtship.
The legend of St. Valentine is given to two legendary martyrs. One was a priest the other
was a Bishop martyred in Rome. Many people believe it was the same person.
