I know l'm one day late, but just came across this great quote on Instagram (@that.writing.thing) and had to share!

Saint Valentine was a clergyman – either a priest or a bishop – in the Roman Empire who ministered to persecuted Christians. Christianity practiced an inclusivity not found in the social caste system of the Roman empire and was therefore perceived by its opponents as a "disruptive and, most significantly, a competitive menace to the traditional class/gender based order of Roman society". May we bring back INCLUSIVENESS❤️
Happy Valentines Day

I haven‘t figured out who the artist is, but I am tickled pink by this depiction of Saint Valentine. In addition to lovers and happy marriages, St V is also a patron of beekeepers and plagues. Raw honey, besides being sweet, is an antibacterial and can be used to seal and treat small wounds. #honey #valentine
