Valentine's Day legend: Long ago a man named Valentino owned a beautiful garden, where children came to play. One day this kind man was imprisoned by the king, but couldn't forget about the children. He sent the children a white dove carrying a note addressed To the children I love' a key to his garden, so that they could continue to play. For the remainder of his life he was remembered for his life by all his friends with a message carried by dove. This began the tradition of sending Valentine messages of love.
