Was beheaded, poor chap. And is patron saint of:
Affianced couples, against fainting, beekeepers, happy marriages, love, plague, epilepsy, Lesbos (the Greek island).
So happy Valentine's day to all the Lesbian (from Lesbos) beekeepers with plague and epilepsy. |

"My hearing of the story was that he was killed by arrows which is why the symbol of romantic love is arrow through a heart..."
Thats Cupid.
He was beheaded during the Roman persecution of Christians after telling the Emperor Claudius to embrace Christianity. There is a version of his story that says he wrote a note to some woman before being executed signing it from 'your valentine.' The entomology of Valentine is play on his actual name Valentinus. |
