Saint Valentine's Day>
Originally the Roman feast of Lupercalia, it was Christianized in memory of the martyr St. Valentine (d.A.D. 270).
In the Middle Ages, Valentine became associated with the union of lovers under conditions of duress.
Today the holiday is celebrated with the
exchange of romantic or comic messages called ?Valentines?.
Valentine, Saint d. c.270, Roman martyr-priest. Possibly because his feast, Feb. 14, was close to a pagan love festival, Valentine became known as a patron of lovers. His feast was dropped from the liturgical calendar in 1969. Don't forget to celebrate your love this Valentine's Day and every day!
