Valentine's Day, when does it start?

Recommended Posts

I checked the calendar no listing for when it starts:

The wiki said it started on February 2nd last year.

I was hoping it was going to start last Tuesday. Those badges are not going to collect themselves! 🙂

I'm right there with ya KaizenSoze. I have 2 badgers and I'm dying to get started with this event. I've scoured Google and found nothing. In past years, the event started around the beginning of the month. A poster on this thread claims it starts Monday Feb 14th but again, I haven't found anything to that effect. Seems odd that they would wait that long. Patches come out on Tuesdays so figured this week. Oh well.

Whats Day? Can someone tell me what this thread is about

Broken hearts.

Σαυτὸν ἀρίθμησον πρότερον καὶ γνῶθι σεαυτόν,

      καὶ τότ᾽ ἀριθμήσεις γαῖαν ἀπειρεσίην.

The Patron Saint of the mentally ill.  No, i am not making that up.

That explains the behavior of people who fall in love.

Yeah, some patron saints are disturbing.

Like Bartholomew, the patron saint of butchers, tanners and leatherworkers.

He was killed by being flayed and is often portrayed as a flayed man carrying his own skin.

Surprisingly, there's no official route to becoming a patron saint.  It just 'happens'.  Some group decides that a saint should be the patron saint of something and, if they're persistent and there's enough people, it just sticks.

Who's the patron saint of those chalky little heart candies with sayings on them?

Not exactly what you were asking, but:
"The 2nd of January is the Feast Day of St Macarius of Alexandria. St Macarius of Alexandria has been dubbed St Macaroon, owing to his name and his association with pastry chefs. He is also a patron saint of cooks and candy makers."
