 Christian personalitiesMenuSt. Valentine and Valentine's Day
Sponsored link.
The ancient Christian Church had a policy of replacing Pagan gods and goddesses with Christian saints. Sometimes these saints actually existed. In other cases, the story of a Roman god or goddess was cleaned up and Christianized. Some of the Pagan elements were minimized or entirely deleted. A biography was created so that they would appear to have been real human beings. St. Valentine appears to have been one of these.
