More than 17 centuries have passed since the death of Saint Valentine, who served as bishop of Terni, a small city in the heart of Italy, from 197 until 273 CE. Valentine was a man of God. He preached in Terni, and beyond, until he was beheaded in Rome during the persecutions of Christians by the Emperor Aurelius.

The love that Valentine preached and testified to with his life was the love inspired by the Gospel: "No love is greater than this: than to lay down your life for your friends." And it was this love that pressed him to help young people to marry.

Because of Valentine Terni had become “the city of love without borders, the city of universal love." He thus defined the love that we must live and proclaim: A "love that conquers, breaks down frontiers, and crumbles barriers among human beings. Love that creates a new society.”

♥♥♥ Valentines Day is the perfect occasion to express your love and to show how much you care ♥♥♥

♥ Valentine Day Songs Music is a rare gift of nature to the human beings.
It is a medium of conversation with God and when we meet a human being in love - this means we are certainly in touch with God.
The ultimate act of loving is giving one's life for the other.
