Rest In Peace

Rest in peace, saint Valentine. Although practically nothing aside for your position as a priest and bishop, and your martyrdom at the hands of emperor Claudius in third century, when you tried to convert him to Christianity is known, your name has become the title of a holiday more celebrated, at least here in America, than the feastday of any other saint. The only thorn is the fact that the only thing celebrated on this day is love and the mass eating of chocolate.

 

So happy feastday of saint Valentine, bishop and martyr.

Don't worry, it happened to the Orthodox, too--with Easter. :P (Yes, even though it's also celebrated by Catholics, the Greek Orthodox places the most emphasis on Easter.)
