Since it is Valentine ’s Day, the Web had became busy for the past 24 hours. The interest of users in Saint Valentine skyrocketed. The keywords “Saint Valentine” and “who was saint Valentine?” each impaled over 300 percent.
So, St. Valentine, who was he? Was he the perfect lover a la Casanova? Was St. Valentine a real person? As stated by Catholic Online, he was very real, however he probably was not a smooth manipulator with the ladies.
Valentine was a sanctum priest in Rome, who assisted the martyrs in maltreatment under Claudius II together with St. Marius and his family. Because of his trouble, he was beaten and then put to death after the authorities were unable to convince him to renounce his faith. He died on February 14th.
With all the events that had passed, other theories abound. Surely, there were many different Valentine, and no one is sure which one was which a hundred percent. Some consider, he was a priest, other consider, he was a bishop, and some believe he was both and some others think he was entirely someone else. All that had been uttered; there is a thin line between doubt and truth among experts that he really exists in one form or another.
There are also few different hypotheses as for how Valentine’s Day came to represent love and kisses. According to a blog that specializes in saints, “some think the Romans had a custom where boys take names of girls to honor the goddess Februata Juno, the goddess of sex and fertility". Other people feel the custom of greetings which came from believing that birds begin to pair on that date.
There are bunch of related searches from "poems for valentine’s day" to "romantic movies' good pick up lines". With all this, we owe it to the one and only St Valentine, whoever he was.
