February 14 is St. Valentine’s Day. Saint Valentine was a 3rd-century priest and martyr, killed during the pagan Roman persecution of Christianity. He was buried at a Catholic cemetery on the Via Flaminia in the outskirts of Rome on February 14, 269. His feast has been observed by the Church since 496. From the High Middle Ages his feast has been associated with a tradition of courtly love, perhaps due to the writings of the English poet and author, Geoffrey Chaucer.
