From all the ladies of WOW to you, a very Happy Valentine's Day! We hope that your day is filled with love of family, friends, pets and perhaps a special valentine too!
While St. Valentine's day has come to be a day celebrating romantic love, the origins of the holiday relate to a Roman Catholic priest who was a political prisoner and martyr. According to legend, just before he was sentenced to death, St. Valentine performed a miracle by healing the blind daughter of his jailer, and wrote her a letter which he signed "from your Valentine".
While St. Valentine lived hundreds of years ago, today there are still many political prisoners around the world who need our help. I've always believed that the best Valentine's Day tribute is to write a "valentine" of support for a prisoner somewhere in the world. To that end, I encourage you to take a few minutes to visit the easy to use online action center at Amnesty International, where there is a long list of women who are currently imprisoned around the world for speaking out for women's rights. Your voice can make a difference!
