We trace the real Saint Valentine: priest, healer, and martyr who defended Christian marriage against imperial bans and turned February 14 into a witness of agape love. From secret weddings to a prison miracle, we call listeners to live covenant over sentiment and holiness over hype.
• origins in Rome’s persecutions and catacomb ministry
• clandestine marriages as sacrament not civil contract
• arrest, imprisonment, and fearless witness to Christ
• miracle of the jailer’s daughter and the first note
• theological meaning of martyrdom and covenant love
• liturgical memory in the Roman Martyrology
• patronage for lovers, engaged couples, widowed, and lonely
• transformation from Lupercalia to Christian feast
• symbols and iconography that catechize through art
• practical calls to live Eucharistic devotion and family holiness
