I honestly don't get how people got from decapitated Roman saints to heart-shaped boxes of chocolate. Personally, I don't see any connection there.

this makes no sense to me, st. valentine's day, wtf chocolate and death do not mix

The connection... would be commercialism and the love of making money off of martyrs.

Nothing exactly romantic about celebrating the death of a saint.

Kinda figured you were. But I decided to cover all my bases anyways just in case.

I'll admit the beating with clubs was rather sentimental, but the beheading was a little much.

It was before television and the internet. They had to entertain themselves somehow.
