Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
Today, we commemorate the Feast of St. Valentine - a martyred priest of the early Christian Church who was killed by a pagan king for preforming marriages. In recognition of this, the Catholic Church recognizes him as the Patron Saint of Cheesy Greeting Cards and Overpriced Flowers.
Okay - I might have made up that last part. Regardless, I want to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.

I learned yesterday that lots of people had no idea who St. Valentine was. Incredible!
@Stella: I'm sure (former) St. Christopher and (former) St. Valentine are ticked at this whole Vatican II thing.
