Happy Valentine's day
Hey everyone Happy valentine's Day. :D
I was wondering .............I know that the holiday was named after 2 saints
Valentine
but was it not a Pagan holiday that the catholic Church manipulated in the early midle ages/?
:lol I thought this well read group of individuals would know.

Re: Happy Valentine's day
Dear Gigi:
Insofar as I'm aware, Valentine's Day is loosely based on the Roman Lupercalia. Happy Lupercalia!
Best,
Helen
