Who was St Valentine

[SAVINGRACE]

St Valentine is a Saint for all Christian couples. He was a priest who was beaten, stoned and beheaded near Rome by the emperor Claudius II for helping Christian couples wed.

It’s already St Valentines Day here in the land of oz. I want to wish everyone a wonderful day. We attended Mass and everyone (male and female) received a rose and a St Valentine Medal.

Thank you for this, I’m going to look more into St. Valentine!
Also, Happy St. Valentine’s day to you and everyone.
I pray that couples find the strength they need to succeed.

Or that ‘Santa Claus’ actually punched a guy’s lights out at Nicea for being a heretic lol.

Love my Catholic faith. So enriching.

My non Catholic husband was surprised to find out there was a real St. Valentine, and thought it was pretty neat.
