An Extremely Brief History of Valentine's Day (from some website):
"Valentine's Day is named in memory of St. Valentine of Rome who died in 269 AD. Saint Valentine was arrested by Emporer Claudius II for helping Christian martyrs. After refusing to give up the Christian faith he was beaten to death with clubs and beheaded by the Prefect of Rome on February 14th."
Man, this could have easily been another Halloween. How cool would that be?
