There are numerous stories of martyrdom which are associated with various Valentines connected to February 14, including a written account of Saint Valentine of Rome's imprisonment as he performed weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and to minister Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire. As per the legend, Saint Valentine regained sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and he wrote her a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell before his execution. The Feast of Saint Valentine was entrenched to be celebrated on February 14 by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496, in honour of the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine of Rome, who died in AD 269 on the same date.
