St. Valentine was a 3rd-century Christian martyr—likely a priest or bishop—who was beaten and beheaded on February 14, around 270 AD, under Emperor Claudius II in Rome for refusing to renounce his faith and secretly marrying couples. His ex*****on is believed to have stemmed from defying a ban on marriages for soldiers. ^😻: "Love needed to be legalized even back then."^
Key Details About St. Valentine's Fate:
Martyrdom: He was executed for converting others to Christianity and aiding persecuted Christians, according to History.com.
The Legend: One legend suggests he was imprisoned and sent a letter signed "From your Valentine" to his jailer's daughter, whom he had healed and befriended, as noted in History.com. ^😻: "Probably did not endear him to the jail staff much."^
Ex*****on: Accounts report he was clubbed, stoned, and then beheaded, say TheDailyMass.com and Medium. ^😻: "I heard they removed his heart, so the association deepens."^
Relics: His remains are claimed by several locations, including the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin in Rome and the Whitefriar Street Church in Dublin, says Britannica. ^😻: "Maybe another one they chopped up and separated."^
Though popular, the specifics of his life are murky, and the Catholic Church removed him from the General Roman Calendar in 1969, though he is still recognized as a saint. ^😻: "Hope you all have a great one, with a loved one or yourself."^

Now his most HoLeY Pope Trump is going after the sanctity of marriage?

We have some important news to share: we have filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court against Virginia officials who have been discriminating against Universal Life Church ministers and denying them the right to perform wedding ceremonies – a blatant violation of the First and Fourteenth amendments to the Constitution.

Marriage is indeed a sacred institution, and the state has cruelly decided to limit who may participate in that sacred rite to a select few. The ULC is represented by the law firms Davis Wright Tremaine LLP and Glenn Feldmann Darby & Goodlatte. The legal challenge we filed aims to restore and protect the rights of ULC ministers in Old Dominion.

The lawsuit, which was brought by the ULC and two of its ministers in the State, names specifically R. Steven Landes (Clerk of Circuit Court for Augusta County, VA), Tim A. Martin (Commonwealth’s Attorney for Augusta County, VA), Staci N. Falls (Clerk of Circuit Court for the City of Staunton, VA), and Jeffrey Gaines (Commonwealth’s Attorney for the City of Staunton, VA) in their official capacities.

It asserts that these officials – like most officials acting in these capacities throughout Virginia – have improperly denied the rights of ULC ministers to legally solemnize religious weddings while granting those same privileges to ministers of other faiths. In some cases, they’ve gone so far as to blatantly recommend specific non-ULC ministers to would-be couples filing for their marriage licenses.

We will not be a silent witness to the disenfranchisement of any group, and we will not rest until our ministers and members are able to enjoy the rights and freedoms guaranteed to all citizens, not just in Virginia but around the world.

One of the most fundamental founding principles of the United States is that individuals should feel free to worship as they see fit. After successful recent legal actions in Pennsylvania and Tennessee, Virginia remains one of the only states in the entire country that effectively bans Universal Life Church ministers from solemnizing marriages.

We are hopeful that a victory in this case will send a clear message to all Virginia officials that discrimination targeting ULC ministers is inappropriate and unconstitutional.

The Universal Life Church welcomes this opportunity to defend itself and its ministers and looks forward to securing your rights.

Worried your Nonstandard Marriage is going to be prevented? I gotcha there. Me, or very likely someone else you know, is already very likely a Minister with the ULC. We didn't get to where we are by being close-minded. All I ask is you stay together, if I marry two people and they unhappily split I'll think it's my fault.
