	VALENTINE
		His parents, who were as good as they were noble, brought Valentine up in a truly Christian manner, and he grew up to be a serious young man devoted to prayer and his studies.
		Clergy and nobles alike raised the cry: "Valentine, the most holy archdeacon, is worthy of the Apostolic See; Valentine must be made pope!" Then they streamed out of the Lateran and hurried to the Church of St. Mary Major where they found Valentine at prayer.

	St. Valentine
		Valentine was a priest or bishop, and possibly a physician as well, during the third century in Rome.

		Valentine is often pictured in icons as a bishop with a crippled or epileptic child at his feet, a bishop with a rooster nearby, a bishop refusing to adore an idol, a bishop being beheaded, a bishop overlooking a betrothed couple, and a priest giving sight to a blind girl.

		Before his death, Valentine is said to have sent the first "Valentine day" greeting from prison to the daughter of his jailor, who visited him in confinement and with whom Valentine fell in love.
