Saint Valentine was gruesomely beheaded...Happy Valentine's Day!
h, Valentine’s Day. Roses, chocolates, gruesome beheadings…wait, what? Yeah, that’s right, here’s something Hallmark doesn’t play up in its yearly February cash grab – Saint Valentine, of course, became a saint due to martyrdom. Back then, sainthood wasn’t handed out unless you got murdered horrifically in the name of the Lord, and Saint Valentine was no exception.
During the reign of Claudius Gothicus (who loved The Cure), Valentinus was a priest caught marrying Christian couples. At the time, helping Christians was considered giving aid and comfort to enemies of the state, so he was arrested.

Valentine's Day is good and all but on social media it drives me nuts. My facebook and twitter are just loaded with "Omg my boyfriend is the greatest!" or "Celebrating Valentines day by myself." It's just another day people! Well besides the fact that Chocolate, jewelry, food service, and Greeting Card companies use it to make their Q1 numbers a little better!
