Valentine’s Day

By: Dasia Burr

    February 14 is Valentine's day or St. Valentine’s day. Do you know why Valentine’s day is a day of romance? Well if you don’t know, then keep on reading. The Catholic church recognizes at least 3 different saints named Valentine, with 3 different legends of the history of Valentine’s day.  From a priest who performed marriages in secret, to the Valentine who attempted to help Christians escape prisons, to an imprisoned Valentine who set the first valentine after falling in love with a young girl. And a fun fact that maybe you don't know is that about 150 million Valentine’s day cards are exchanged, making Valentine’s day the second most popular card-selling holiday. So remember on February 15, make sure to show your greetings, affection, and emotions to your friends and families and even your lovers. ;) ~xoxoxo~
