MICHAEL JACKSON & AKON - HOLD MY HAND

The history of Valentine's Day — and its patron saint — is hidden in mystery. But we know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
