St.VALENTINE'S

Legend places SAINT VALENTINE as a 3rd
century Roman priest. Under the rule of Claudius II, marriage was
outlawed (because a stronger military was comprised of single men rather
than family men). Fr. Valentine secretly married couples until he was
found out, and put to death. Who says love is painless...?
CUPID appears in Roman mythology as
the son of Venus, goddess of love (in Greek, he is Eros, god of love).
The mischievous boy wounds gods & mortals alike with his arrows, causing
them to fall in love and marry outside their social circles.
