    A Brief History

    As you may have read earlier on our site today, on February 14, 269, Saint Valentine reportedly experienced martyrdom.   He is but one of numerous saints whose lives and/or deaths can be considered unusual or “cracked”.  Traditionally, Christians commemorate the saints with what is generally known as a Calendar of Saints, marking the various feast days of saints.  We shall do similarly by providing our own Calendar of Saints featured on History and Headlines.  Whether you are a Christian or not, the stories of these individuals are nevertheless quite fascinating!  And yes, we are posting two Saint Valentine inspired articles today, because after all, for the day about lovers, we should have a “couple” (wink) of articles inspired by the patron saint of love and happy marriages!  This article will be updated whenever we add a new article on our site concerning a saint.
