Reheating last year's post..
Today's St. Valentine's Day -- probably the worst example of a 'Hallmark Holiday' known to man.
So who was St. Valentine anyway?
He was a mysterious early catholic martyr -- and a relatively minor one at that. There were two, possibly three St. Valentines, btw.
Oh, how relevant. Anyone for St. Ida of Boulogne? St. Methodius? Or that perennial crowd-pleaser, St. Tarcisius -- the persecuted 12-year-old acolyte mangled by the Romans in the third century?
Right then. I'll get all romantic..
Brilliant.
