Here are three things about St. Valentine that you might not know.
I’m completely in favor of Valentine’s Day. I think it’s a wonderful way to remind folks to share the love but letting those they care about know that they love them.
But I lament the way the “Saint” was dropped from the title.
Valentine’s Day used to be “St. Valentine’s Day,” before the chocolate manufacturers, florists and greeting card companies got hold of it. Don’t get me wrong — I think sending Valentines, ordering flowers and showing up with a heart-shaped box of chocolates (Ahem. Husband? Are you reading this?) is a marvelous way of showing our love and affection. Carry on, please, with my good wishes.
Just let’s not forget that this love-ly holiday is associated with a saint.
That said, I’ve discovered three things about St. Valentine that you might not know. In the spirit of this loving saint, I’m sharing them with you here.
