As for St. Valentine, he was beaten with clubs and beheaded on this date circa A.D. 270. In addition to being the patron saint of love and lovers, he's also the patron of affianced couples, bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, plague, travellers, and young people. Interesting combination.
