As as a side note Febuary 14 is also Makha Bucha Day. A national holiday AND no alcohol sells. This is the number one Buddha day for Thailand.

Apart from Makha Bucha,St. Valentine who was beaten stoned and beheaded was also the Patron Saint of bee keepers,the plague,epileptics and lovers.What a mix.

He was the Patron Saint of the plague? Not something you'd want on your résumé.

More likely the patron saint for those seeking intervention because they suffered either from epilepsy or because of the plague.

There were quite a few St. Valentines, incidentally.
