It’s the chocolate, stupid

Valentine’s Day has long been associated with love. Religious scholars still can’t agree on who St. Valentine was. Theories include one that he was a priest in the Roman empire jailed for helping persecuted Christians, and one that he was a priest who secretly married couples when marriage was forbidden. Some say he was a man imprisoned for his faith who wrote letters to his jailer’s daughter signed “your Valentine.” All the stories end with his being beheaded.
