The 1st Valentine card (excluding one’s from St. Valentine himself) was thought to be send in 1415 from the Duke of Orleans to his wife from this location.
Answer to Yesterday’s Question: It isn’t, the feast was dropped in 1969, due to the fact that it can’t be proven who St. Valentine was or how many there where. Some legends about him include: that he was a priest or bishop in the Roman Empire who might have helped persecuted Christians, was thrown in jail and there wrote encouraging letters to others about God’s love, which he might have signed “your Valentine” and was beheaded maybe on Feb 14th; that he secretly married couples when it was forbidden; or that he wrote letters to his jailer’s daughter and was probably beheaded.
