While under house arrest of judge Asterius, he was discussing the validity of Jesus's claims. Asterius put Valentine to a test and brought to him his adopted blind daughter. If Valentine succeeded in restoring the girl's sight, Asterius would do anything he asked. St. Valentine laid his hands on her eyes and miraculously her vision was restored. Asterius asked what he should do for Valentine. Valentine said small idols around the house should be broken, fast for three days, and undergo [[baptism]]. Asterius freed the Christian inmates, he and his family plus forty other were baptized. <ref>The Book of Saints by Rodney Castleden</ref> It was soon after that all were rounded up and killed, including St. Valentine.  Another legend says on the eve of his death, he penned a farewell note to the jailer's daughter, "From your Valentine."
