So, Valentine's Day began as a Catholic holiday that celebrated martyred saint, Valentinus. Now, how we came to spend this day wooing our beloved with chocolates, flowers and promises we don't intend to keep, when it originally was to celebrate a man's death, I don't know and I really don't have the time to research it right now.
