In this free introductory lesson from How Valentine’s Day Was Born, students uncover the true story of St. Valentine—a Christian martyr whose life had nothing to do with romance, chocolates, or secret love notes. Through an engaging historical reading and included audio version, children learn how assumptions about Valentine’s Day differ from historical evidence, setting the stage for deeper exploration into how traditions are formed and transformed over time. This lesson builds curiosity, strengthens critical thinking, and invites students to question the stories behind familiar holidays.
