The many Valentines of Rome

To celebrate St. Valentine's Day, apparently now the official "World Day of Lovers" according to Italian calendars, Pope Francis conversed with and blessed 20,000 engaged couples in St. Peter's Square. Here is an article from Aleteia on the subjects covered.

To add to my 2012 post on legends of St. Valentine, here are a few new ones I discovered with the children on the three St.Valentines of Rome- one a priest, one a bishop, and one a physician.

Here, also, is a post on today's feast from my other blog on www.thekirkoscaravan.com.
