...imagination. Before condemning things of legend, consider how we have incorporated tales of another saint into our lives. Although society has made Santa Claus the hero of a consumer-driven, materialistic culture, at the core of that character is the love St. Nicholas had for his God and neighbor. Why not celebrate the legend of Valentinus on Valentine's Day? Sharon Reidy, Bedford, Mass...
