Valentine's Day is named after two Christian martyrs who share the name Valentine.
The feast of St. Valentine was first decreed in 496 by Pope Gelasius I,
who included Valentine among those "... whose names are justly
reverenced among men, but whose acts are known only to God." As
Gelasius implied, nothing is known about the lives of any of these
martyrs.
