The Saint We Call Valentine

Who was Saint Valentine? The name was used by at least three martyrs of the early church, although there is little documentation on any of them. The confusion over the actual saint led the church to drop St. Valentine's Day from its official list of feasts in 1969. And there have been other saints in more recent times with the same name. Read about what little we know of St. Valentine in an article I wrote for mental_floss.
