Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is the the most widely celebrated unofficial holiday in the world.

A few interesting facts…

• The Catholic Church recognizes at least 3 different saints named Valentine, all of whom were martyred, one for performing secret weddings for young lovers.
• Pope Gelasius declared February 14th “St Valentine’s Day” around 498 AD, in part to replace an ancient Roman fertility festival.
• About 1 billion Valentine cards are exchanged, making it the 3rd largest card-sending occasion after Christmas and Fathers Day. It’s also the 4th-biggest flower-selling occasion.
• Teachers receive the most Valentines Day cards, followed by school children, mothers, wives, and then sweethearts.
