Sirensong sunshine asked:

It today a genuine religious holiday, as it has a saint’s name – in whch case, how do people observe it? Is it another pagan/roman festival that later religions have appropriated, like Easter and Christmas? Or is it just another ‘Hallmark Day’ to help the grretings card and flower industries. What do we think, people?
Yeah I KNOW it’s not really a religious holiday, but surely, as it has a saint’s name adn is on a saints day there must be *someone* out ther ewho thinks they shoudl pray to St Valentine or something?

And if we all think it’s a big commercial exploitation game, why do we all go along with it…?
