Saint Valentine
Manage episode 355104015 series 2829174
Saint Valentine's day, on February 14 is probably the most well-known saints' feast day in the calendar. Unfortunately, not much is known for sure about Saint Valentine. He was either a priest or a bishop, and a martyr in the early Christian church during one of the Roman persecutions. He gained association with romance in the middle ages, since February 14 is around the beginning of spring - when (according to poets like Chaucer) birds look for their mates. He has also become an inspiration to Christian pacifists, since some traditions assert that he acted in defiance of a war-mongering Emperor.
