In ancient Rome there lived a humble man named Valentine. He was a physician, but he was also a Christian priest whose life and freedom were in constant danger in a city of people who believed in many gods, not just one. One day a jailer from the emperor¿s prison appeared at Valentine¿s door with his small child, a girl who was blind. Knowing the difficulty of curing blindness, Valentine vowed to do his best, and over the weeks of treatment and prayer the three became fast friends. Here, accompanied by Sabuda¿s full-color mosaics evoking the time period in which the story takes place, is the story of a man whose goodness and faith brought about a miracle, and whose name lives on in one of our most celebrated holidays. Reinforced binding.
