Valentine’s Day will soon be upon us. Some of us may pause to wonder where and why did this tradition begin? The History Channel’s website goes into detail: “The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.” http://www.history.com/content/valentine/history-of-valentine-s-day
