The official love day: Valentine’s Day is here! It is the best time to rejoice love, express your heartfelt feelings. Be it to your loved ones or even yourself for that matter, love has no boundaries. But what is so special about this specific day that it is dedicated to ‘love’? Legend has it, Emperor Claudius II decided on banning marriage of young men, and it was the then Priest Valentine who stood firm against this ruling and secretly performed marriages of such young lovers. However, when Emperor Claudius understood about the same, he ordered Valentine be imprisoned and put to death. On 14th February, Valentine was beheaded and named a saint.
