St Valentines History

Before putting our "Sex, Love, And Relationship" items on sale at Rick London Collection, I researched and found out the history of St. Valentines Day. It is
fascinating. It all started with the Roman Empire crumbling and Claudius outlawing
marriage as he felt it weakened the soldiers. An unknown Christian priest, named Valentine noticed the pain it was causing young people and performed secret marriage
ceremonies outside of Rome. He was finally captured and executed, but not before healing his jailer's daughter's blindness. Before being executed, he wrote a note to the jailer "Your Valentine". Visit www.ricklondoncollection.com and click on the "Sex, Love, And Relationship" link and find a lot of goodies on sale at up to 80% off, just through Valentines Day.
