Happy Saint Valentine's Day!

To all of my readers, a happy feast of the good Saint Valentine to you! He is not the patron saint of glittery greeting card hearts (that was for you, Hallmark) but the patron of love and happy marriages. Emphasis on the marriage part, because in Saint Valentine's mind if you were in love you would most certainly get married to show it.

Just as an interesting side note, the name Valentine comes from the Latin word valens, meaning "strong" or "healthy."
