Valentine's Day

Most people think that Valentines day is just the commercial industries way to get people to spend loads of money on their "loved ones".  Actually, there is religious history behind last Thursday's events.  In today's society, people give each other roses, chocolates, teddy bears and make big romantic gestures.  Saint Valentine was imprisoned for marrying those who were forbidden from marriage and before his execution wrote a letter saying "from your Valentine" and the rest was history.
