According to truth and record three men were martyred according to Roman Catholic tradition all of whom were named Saint Valentine. One report has Saint Valentine, a Roman priest, secretly unifying soldier men and their women lovers thus defying the decree of Emperor Claudius II that his fighting army was not to have married men in it. Death became his punishment by the said Claudius. Another says he was put to death for helping incarcerated Christians escape from brutal Roman prisons. It is also suggested that he sent the first Valentine card to a young lady of his infatuation while he was in prison. Whatever truth lies in these and other reports it can be undeniably said that Saint Valentine was a man of love and compassion.

Let us reveal the real, yet farce, story behind the legacy of Saint Valentine's Day. Upon the death of Saint Valentine the mission of love was eternally placed upon him. Thus as a spirit he chose an avatar which all of mankind would know him by. From the ceremonies held in the halls of Olympus Valentine was struck by Zeus's rod of lightning which fused his being into the chosen avatar. Since his death man has felt the sting of love and the crash of heartbreak. Yet and notwithstanding, love is forever depicted by the heart being shot with an arrow by none other – Cupid. Yes, that mischievous little midget with wings is the embodiment of the spirit of Saint Valentine. It is his token to the world that love must go on.

Thereafter and once upon a time there was a man named Valentine who transformed himself into a winged child upon his death and named himself Cupid. Armed with the bow and arrow of love he swept the earth with unmatched efficiency, motive and determination. When the powers of darkness, Emperor Sauerkraut of Bermuda Bottoms, crept in and made war with Cupid a new strategy was pursued. From the five corners of the earth Cupid collected the sacred cocoa bean stones and named them each Ghirardelli, Wonka, Russell Stover, Whitman's and Cella's. After breathing ultimate life into these stones they each went forth and produced armies after their kind. The wheels of industry ensued. Cannonballs of chocolate covered cherries were manifest from the belly of Whitman's. Deadly arrows of milk chocolate were formed from the ovens of Russel Stover. Great tanks of chocolate gift baskets rolled off the planks of Ghirardelli. Plumes of molten chocolate fondue sprang forth from the springs of Wonka. All this and much more added to the inflating armies of Cupid. Then came the Rapture of Ambrosia. Gods and goddesses, mortals and immortals alike locked in a battle of love.

To this day the battle rages on. From the innocence of Saint Valentine, compassion sounded forth as a trump as expressed endearing love and infatuation from one to another. Lo, the imps of Emperor Sauerkraut of Bermuda Bottoms are hard at work to make many feel the sting and pain of love. The crushing woes of broken love are but small triumphs for the Emperor.
