Beautiful Being: Did you know, in the 3rd century AD, Roman soldiers weren’t allowed to get married, because it was believed that unmarried men made for better soldiers as they had nothing to lose.

But as we all know … love is powerful!!! A Christian priest, said to have worn an Amethyst ring with the image of Cupid engraved in it, would marry soldiers in secret. This priest was of course known as Valentine!!!

Soldiers would look for the priest with the Amethyst ring to sanctify their love … and thanks to Saint Valentine, Valentine’s Day and his Amethyst ring … his love for love, and the celebration of love lives on until this day.

How freakin’ mermazing is that?!!!
