I have read a brief story of St.Valentine. There is nothing to state for lovers. It is religious and there is no woman character except that he had given eyes to a girl by praying to God. I like to know about this.

That's funny, because I thought the story went something along the lines of St. Valentine performing marriages when they were not allowed...so of course, it was a "secret love" sort of thing, that later developed into the celebration of love (regardless of whether or not that means it has been capitalized on by countless companies)...

According to legend, the Roman Emporer has forbidden marriage because he felt that married men would be less likely to fight in his armies. St. Valentine, a Catholic priest, defied the emporer by conducting secret marriages. St. Valentine was caught, imprisoned, and killed.

There are perchance a handful of people... inventors and innovators.. who somewhat had any effect in any respect. A handful out of billions. extraordinarily pathetic. So, daily is incredibly in basic terms important as a 2nd in time, yet thoroughly unimportant whilst it somewhat comes down it, extraordinarily so in the greater advantageous photograph. And that includes your little ones, and so forth. people elect to fantasize that they proceed to exist by their little ones... yet somewhat, they do no longer. it is in basic terms greater bodies filling the vacuum.

Because it's a lot harder to market a day in memory of a self-sacrificing saint.
