The Ambiguous Legends of Saint Valentine

There were many Saint Valentines, at least three. All patron saints of the catholic church who's legendary exploits have inspired us to love, for at least one day. One legend tells of Saint Valentine VII who, during the crusades, would walk through the streets of Jerusalem and place a rose on the doorsteps of suspected Muslims. If the inhabitants had chosen repentance, they would then smear the blood of a sacrificed goat on their front door and spread the rose petals before the entrance. This prepared the way for French and English crusaders would then raid the homes of all the unrepentant inhabitants.
Since the 16th century the white man has been sending each other tidings of sweet, sweet love. But thanks to Esther A. Howland, in the 1840's greeting cards began to be produced on a mass scale, thus commercializing the holiday!
So I'd just like to send my valentine's day greeting to all you lovely ladies out there, via Ferline Husky...
On the wings of a snow-white dove
He sends His pure sweet love
