Happy Valentines Day!
Introduction Although being the saints day of three saints called Valentine, it has become highly commercialised and secular which is why many people drop the "St" from the name of the day.

Two of the three saints were martyrs and it is for them that the day
is primarily celebrated. In addition to Valentines Day itself February 29th is also related to love. This day which has only been in existence a few hundred years is used to help in re-synchronising the calendar. For some reason it has become the custom that, on this day, it is permitted for women to propose marriage to men, this doesnt seem much of a benefit nowadays but when women had far less freedom than they do now, it could be seen as important. |
