[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]well, since Valentine's Day is for St. Valentine, I could see there being a problem. Although, I would probably file it under "get over it." Halloween and Valentine's are the only holidays they're allowed to talk about, it seems. Friendship cards, I get, but come on...[/quote] Seriously? I dare you to find the religous aspects of Valentine's day.[/quote] Valentine's day was introduced by a pope in about 500AD to humor Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni - two saints who were martyred for their faith. In the 14th century the idea of romance was introduced and few people were really celebrating the Valentine saints and it morphed into the Hallmark holiday it is today. Its origins were religious. I am not Catholic but to the best of my knowledge Catholics don't celebrate it as a religious holiday anymore. [/quote]
