Everyone has heard of the Feast of St. Valentine, but fewer people know the interesting history. It started when a misunderstanding was printed on a Sacrament Program. In the year 496 the ward clerk was preparing the Sacrament Program for a special meeting in which St. Valentine was visiting the local congregation. Instead of “Come Feast upon the words of Christ with St. Valentine” he wrote “Come to the Feast of St. Valentine with the words of Christ”. As with most potlucks in which main and side dishes are not assigned, it ended up all being desserts with pink frosting and candy hearts with little messages. Luckily, St. Valentine (despite his name meaning “healthy”) was a portly man—very fond of honey and other sweets—and so he ate energetically and with effusive praise. That caused several of the women in the congregation to be shot with cupid’s arrow, so to speak, when he praised their cooking. And that started the holiday as we know it.
