During the month of February, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many places around the world. It’s a day to show your loved ones how much they mean to you. But do you know the origins of this holiday of romance?
The exact history of Valentine’s Day—and Saint Valentine—is not fully known, but we do know that the modern St. Valentine’s Day stems from both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. There are two prevalent tales the offer some insight.
The first tells of a third century Roman priest named Valentine who performed marriages in secret. This was because Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage, believing that single men made better soldiers than those with families. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, he was sentenced to death.
The second story tells of an imprisoned Valentine who sent the first “valentine” note after falling in love with the jailer’s daughter. He allegedly signed a letter to her “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still used today.
We may never know the exact origins of Valentine’s Day, but one thing we do know is that it’s a holiday steeped in romance and sweet, loving gestures. If your loved one enjoys collecting precious metal bullion, perhaps a silver round or bar might be a nice treat to show how much you care. And while you’re shopping, why not try your hand at winning some free silver!

I love my parents. I am not young and my folks are quickly fading from this world. The older I get the more I realize how much they sacrificed to give their kids a safe and loving home. I will always be grateful for them.
I have work black on Valentine’s Day every year since 1990 which started as a personal tradition for me because I was in a staff of RAs that year in a coed dorm and we did it that year as a staff because most of us were going through bad breakups.
I love my girls!
I Love Silver, I Love Free Silver More .
My wife and son, my world.
I love my wife and watching how she goes about her days, and especially at Christmas time. Last year I surprised her with a simple silver ingot imprinted with the manger scene and star overhead. It was perfect and, although it may wear and tarnish a bit over the years, like our love, what’s truly precious within is unaffected, or even its aged patina is preferred by some.
I love my wife and my two children.my four grandkids and my 4 other children(cats).lol.and of course stacking silver! God bless!
