While a website of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia and other sources give different lists of Saint Valentines, the Catholic Church's official list of recognized saints, the Roman Martyrology lists seven: a martyr (Roman priest or Terni bishop?) buried on the Via Flaminia (February 14); a priest from Viterbo (November 3); a bishop from Raetia who died in about 450 (January 7); a fifth-century priest and hermit (July 4); a Spanish hermit who died in about 715 (October 25)HI Rachel Garde ; Valentine Berrio Ochoa, martyred in 1861 (November 24); and Valentine Jaunzarás Gómez, martyred in 1936 (September 18).[12] he was a priest before
I am going to celebrate the priest/hermit on February 14th instead of July 4th since there is already celebration that occurs July 4th in the USA, one with pretty colored sparks that I can watch from the roof rather than the sparks of romance inspired by receiving dead flowers and chocolate.
Maybe I will plant a few flowers.
Much love to wikipedia, since I'm feeling romantic...
