                                                                                    SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY
                                                                                   
                                    On this St Valentine's day, our hearts
                                    go out to you. (Sorry, I just couldn't
                                    help myself.)
                       
                                    Most historians agree that St Valentine was
                                    martyred by order of Emperor Claudius II 
                                    about 269 A.D., and was buried at a cemetery 
                                    on the Via Flamine near the Milvian bridge, 
                                    north of Rome.

                                    Legend has it that on the night before 
                                    he was executed, St Valentine healed 
                                    his jailer's blind daughter, and penned
                                    a note to her signed, "your Valentine."
                       
                                    St Valentine is known as the Patron Saint
                                    of young people, love, lovers, engaged
                                    couples, and happy marriages.

                                    Some might criticize the commercialization
                                    that occurs with this wonderful holiday,
                                    but not us. For, people around the world
                                    stop their busy lives for a few minutes 
                                    and send out love thoughts and well wishes
                                    to millions, that otherwise might not often be 
                                    thought of, in a kind and loving way.

                                    Happy Valentine's Day to you all. May this 
                                    be one of the most glorious and warmhearted 
                                    days of your lives. xoxo.
