She is the queen of the Roman goddess of the gods. People are also called as the Roman goddess wedding. On the next day, February 15 immediately the 'Feast of Lupercalia'.

At that time, life has not been like this now, the girls are prohibited from dealing with the men. On the night before the festival of Lupercalia progress, the names of the girls in the written sheet of paper and then placed in a glass to glass. Later the man must take a paper containing the name of a girl who will be dating his friend in the festival.

He was confident that the men are reluctant to enter the Roman army to leave because of his family and lovers. Finally, he ordered to cancel all the wedding and engagement in the Roman. Saint Valentine who was a pastor in the Roman reject this command.

He was with the Saint Marius secretly wed the couple who are in love. But their actions in mind the emperor who immediately ordered his guards to drag and cut the good-hearted pastor.
