Cured blindness
St Valentine is a 3rd-century saint universally known as the patron saint of romance. Although his feast is marked by both believers and non-believers, not much is certain about his life. His biography may be based on the lives of two individuals rather than one. But scholars agree that he was martyred and buried on the Via Flaminia leading out of Rome.
One legend holds that St Valentine, a bishop, was placed under house arrest by a judge named Asterius. He presented his blind daughter to Valentine and told him to restore her sight. The judge said that if Valentine succeeded he would do anything he asked. The saint placed his hands on her eyes and her vision was restored.
