So it's Valentine's Day. Everyone knows this holiday is one of those 'former pagan festivals' taken by the church and add a saint and "presto!" it's now a money making religious event!
I always knew St. Valentine was a saint who was martyred for marrying young couples against the law but what I didn't know is this: Did you know that St. Valentine is ALSO the patron saint for epileptics? It's thought that he may have had the 'falling sickness' himself.
He's also the patron saint for beekeepers. Which really freaks me out. I mean, why does there even HAVE to be a patron saint for beekeepers? Do beekeepers really get in that much trouble? And why St. Valentine? What gives him such a kinship with bees?
Pope Gelasius declared February 14th as St. Valentine's Day around 498 A.D., but the Roman Catholic Church dropped St. Valentine from the calendar of official, worldwide Catholic feasts in 1969. So if you're Catholic, tell your significant other they're wasting their time.
In Korea, there is an additional Black Day on April 14, when males who did not receive anything for Valentine's Day gather together to eat Jajangmyun (Chinese-style noodles in black sauce).
That's what I'm talking about.


Eat your Jajangmyun.

Happy Valentine's Day everybody...or singles awareness day.
