Anyone know what love, lovers, happy marriages, engaged couples, and plagues have in common?
No? Really?
That's alright, I had no idea until I decided to look St. Valentine up a little while ago. Turns out he is the Patron Saint of affianced couples, bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plagues, travellers, and young people.
How does one get to be the Patron Saint for such a wide variety of things? All the lovey ones make sense, based on our typical views of Valentine's Day. But bee keepers? Epilepsy? Faintings?
I guess everyone needs a Saint.
