The Roman martyr-priest who was killed for his refusal to disavow his faith in Christianity. Possibly because his feast, February 14 (see ValentinesDay), was close to a pagan Love festival, Valentine_TheMartyr became known as a patron of lovers. The lovers' greeting cards sent on this day are called valentines or ValentinesCards. His feast was dropped from the liturgical calendar of Catholicism in 1969.
