John was born on a romantic holiday, February 14. Saint Valentine'sDay,<br />
and the history behind that holiday is interesting. In the 3rdcentury, Emperor<br />
Claudius II was faced with defending the Roman Empire<strong>from</strong> the invading<br />
Goths. He believed single men made better soldiersso he temporarily<br />
forbade marriage. He also forced the Senate to deifythe former Emperor<br />
Gallienus, including him with the Roman gods to beworshipped.<br />
Legend has it that Valentine was a bishop in Italy who risked theEmperor's<br />
wrath by refusing to worship idols and for secretly marryingyoung couples.<br />
Saint Valentine was dragged before the Prefect ofRome, who condemned<br />
him to be beaten to death with clubs and have hishead cut off, February 14,<br />
269AD.<br />
While awaiting execution, it is said he prayed for the jailers' sickdaughter, who<br />
miraculously recovered. He wrote her a note and signedit, "<strong>from</strong> your<br />
Valentine." In 496 AD, Pope Gelasius designatedFebruary 14th as "Saint<br />
Valentine's Day."<br />
Signing an X for a kiss began in Medieval times where those who couldnot<br />
write marked an X in the presence of witnesses and kissed it toshow sincerity.<br />
The X, or Chi symbol, was the Greek letter used torepresent the name of<br />
Christ, as X-Mas for Christmas, and was used asa written form of the oath "So<br />
help me God."<br />
