Saint Patrick became associated with luck and fortune, Saint Valentine became associated with love and affection, and Saint Nicholas became associated with generosity and family. The actual story of St. Valentine(s) is a bit more difficult. There are at least two Valentine's associated with February 14th, though more by that name are reported. We have no contemporary records or accounts of the saints; the first acts of the two do not appear until the sixth or seventh century. You may alreadyknow that Valentine's Day was named after its patron saint, St. Valentine — but there's actually some confusion surrounding which St. Valentine the holiday technically honors. My birthday is a week after Valentine's day. I asked my husband to combine the two and take me on an old school date to the local mall. We are going hit the arcade for a game, the candy store, the coffee place and window shop together. Valentine's day was a feast day for Saint valentine originally who was said to have been imprisoned for performing marriages for roman soldiers (which was illegal at the time) possibly around the 5th century. We know that St. Valentine was real because the Church’s canonizations are infallible. So, we know that there was a holy person who is in Heaven whom we have called “St. Valentine” or any number of obscure ancient saints, but we don’t know much about them besides stories that cropped up much later based on their legendary holiness. Today I learned that Saint Valentine (as the one Valentine's Day is named after) is also considered a patron saint of beekeepers. Nobody's responded to this post yet. Add your thoughts and get the conversation going. You learn something new every day; what did you learn today?

St. Valentine is the saint of more than lovers. A pope initiated Valentine’s Day to tamp down “un-Christian” celebrations.

Subreddit for discussing Code Lyoko Today is the 18th anniversary of the day Xbox was nearly cancelled- a meeting we called “The St. Valentine’s Day massacre.” It was the moment of maximum peril for Xbox. But we made it! 1929- St. Valentine’s Day Massacre—In a turf battle in Chicago, the South Side Italian Mafia led by Al Capone sent hitmen dressed in police uniforms or suits to shoot up a hangout of a North Side Irish gang led by George “Bugs” Moran. Capone’s henchmen killed seven in one of the most notorious events of the Chicagoland Mafia Era In Saint Valentines Day it was a special microchip necklace, but there's also the Scyphozoa. It possessed Aelita four times in season 3, and William in Final Round. Reply reply More replies Valentine's Day is a Western import, the Eastern Orthodox denomination does not have a St Valentine saint for lovers. Locally there was a similar feast, Dragobete (February 24), with a similar meaning but Dragobete went into oblivion in Communist days and after, it was replaced by Sfantul Valentin. This is what happens when you try and fuck a mobster's daughter. 7 men were called to meet their "sweetheart" at Moe's for a "Special" Valentine's day dinner. Little did they know Al Capone was the Chef and he was serving up lead as the special of the day. I am a 25-year-old woman and I love men and I love Valentine’s Day. Here is my advice for you. Get 1 thing that is a traditional romantic gift, and get 1 thing that says something about your girlfriend’s personality. Or, even better, combine the two. For example, if she loves whales, you could get her candy that’s shaped like whales. So Valentine’s Day is coming up and I’m obviously in a relationship. But in my past relationships Valentine’s Day was never acknowledged or celebrated in an “aweeee ️” way. So now that Valentine’s Day is coming I just don’t want to celebrate it at all, I told my boyfriend that I just want to act like it’s a regular day. Many people hate Valentine's Day because it reminds them of being single. To this I ask, why is Valentine's Day celebrated? It is to celebrate love. This doesn't necessarily mean romantic love. You can still celebrate the love of your family, your friends, and even yourself. If you feel sad and lonely on Valentine's Day, treat yourself.
