TLR, dedicated to premarital sexual abstinence, held a “History of Valentine’s Day” presentation yesterday evening in Winthrop House. Surprisingly, neither of the two St. Valentines had any connection to romance, according to Keliher. Valentine’s Day became associated with love some eleven centuries after the saint...
