For The Love Of... (Redux07)

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.
