Saints of Old Series: If you're like me, you grew up with the names of famous saints being mentioned in books, movies, and conversations, but their stories were rarely expounded on. Well I'm here to remedy that, with my Saints of Old series highlighting saints from various traditions.
Background: One of the interesting things about early saints is that it can be difficult to tell what their true story is. In the case of St. Valentine, there is some confusion over whether his story is that of one man, or two different saints that were merged together as time went on. But no matter which is true, the celebration of his martyrdom has been a boon for chocolate and flower companies (and Al Capone's ammunition supplier).
