GD, Catholics are fun!
While they may have done that on a Valentine's Day there were actually eleven Valentine's Days. St. Valentine of Terni & St. Valentine of Rome are honored on the 14th. There's a lot more to it but I'm sure you get the gist. What book are you reading about holidays?





I haven't seen a 3d movie in YEARS and I don't recall seeing one in a theater so maybe I'll check it out.
