Happy Saint Valentine’s Day

Who was Saint Valentine? It appears that there were at least 12 men named Valentine and proclaimed saints according to the Roman Catholic Church roster of saints, so differentiating them gets a bit sketchy, however it seems the first Valentine was a priest during the rule of Emperor Claudius II. Wanting an unmarried military, Claudius outlawed marriages and engagements, however Valentine secretly married couples, that is, until he was discovered and beheaded on Feb. 14, 270 AD.
With at least a dozen Saint Valentine’s it is little wonder that he is the patron saint of many things, such as beekeepers, epilepsy, engaged couples, happy marriages, fainting, as well as the plague. There was even a Pope Valentine, who served only 40 days around the year 827.
