Right. We’ve had Christmas, New Year and we’re approaching Mother’s Day and Easter, so we need some hyped up marketingfest shite to fill in the gap. Guess what? It’s Valentine’s Day!!!
All that is reliably known of the saint commemorated on February 14 is his name and that he was martyred and buried at a cemetery on the Via Flaminia close to the Ponte Milvio to the north of Rome on that day. So basically another gobby fucker who couldn’t keep his opinion to himself and got topped by people who were sick of listening to him.
Because so little is reliably known of him, in 1969 the Catholic Church removed his name from the General Roman Calendar, leaving his liturgical celebration to local calendars. Basically not an actual saint then?
So today let’s raise a glass to St Valentine – a non-saint ‘resurrected’ to seperate gullibel cunts from their hard earned in the name of love marketing.
What a crock of fucking shite!
