So I did not know this till this year but the saint that this day is named after has an interesting story to him. I thought I would share my wealth of knowledge with you. Enjoy and Happy Valentine's Day. I love you all. MUAH!
St. Valentine
Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs in the persecution under Claudius II. He was apprehended, and sent by the emperor to the prefect of Rome, who, on finding all his promises to make him renounce his faith in effectual, commended him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14, about the year 270.

Although it is a tragic story, his love was so great he was willing to die for his beliefs and his God. So on this day I remeber and show love to Saint Valentine, one of the millions of martyr's who love with all their heart.
