269 AD -
...Thailand,
where the national religion is
Buddhism, has a recent
history of making the most
of Valentine's Day -
marking the death of a
Roman who was martyred for
refusing to give up
Christianity in 269 AD
- to encourage legal marriages.
The trend started at Bangkok's
Bang Rak district (District of
Love) more than two decades ago
when local authorities started
to offer prizes on
Valentine's Day to couples
who registered their unions.

269 AD -
In 269 CE, Bishop
Valentine was beheaded by
the Pagan Emperor of
Rome. He was later made a
Saint by the Roman
Catholic Church and is today
celebrated on "Valentine's
Day" for his
long-established work in helping
Roman's (particularly soldiers)
to write love
letters.
It seems that barbarism has been
the law of many religions, not
just die ones we seem intent on
claiming were barbaric. It is my
sincere hope that this chapter
will help us to see that the
true nature of law is love

But the most popular opinion is
that St Valentine's Day
is named after the priest in
Rome who was martyred by
Claudius on February 14, 269
AD.
And still others say that St.
Valentine was a priest in
Rome during the reign of Emperor
Claudius II (Claudius the
Cruel). To further confuse
matters, some think the latter
two are the same person, while
others think the holiday
commemorates both figures. But
the most popular opinion is that
St Valentine's Day is
named after the priest in Rome
who was martyred by Claudius on
February 14, 269 AD.
