According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, the saint whose
feast was celebrated on the day now known as St. Valentine's
Day was possibly one of three martyred men named Valentinus
who lived in the late third century, during the reign of Emperor
Claudius II (died 270):
a priest in Rome
a bishop of Interamna (modern Terni)
a martyr in the Roman province of Africa.
Really nobody knows anything about a guy named Valentine!

The exchange of cards at Valentines day originates in Victorian times. Before that - well where I grew up - you went Valentining leaving gifts on front doorsteps after knocking on the back door. These gifts were not for lovers neither. Usually consisted of token gifts like pens, oranges that sort of stuff. The custom of Valentining seems to have died a death and within the last 30 years I'd say...
"It is I, the gorrilla of 3b. Nigel Molesworth".

Alone we stand, together we fall apart.
