The one fact that can be stated confidently is that we know nothing about the legendary Saint Valentine, not even whether he actually existed. The most famous miracle attributed to Valentine involved a farewell note that he sent to a young blind girl named Julia, shortly before his martyrdom. Believers say that God miraculously cured Julia of her blindness so that she could personally read the note rather than just have someone else read it to her.
From the first Feast of Saint Valentine, February 14, 496, to the most recent Saint Valentine's Day, February 14, 2013, was 1518 Saint Valentine's Days.
Valentine's day is a celebration of the Roman Saint Valentine. It has been rumored for many centuries, that Saint Valentine had been in prison for persecuting the Christians, but there is not factual evidence for this.
Many saints had their heads removed. Here are a few examples:John the Baptist Saint Paul Saint George Saint Denis Saint Valentine of Rome
We celebrate Valentine's Day, because until 1969, it was one of the many Saint's Days observed by the Catholic Church. It was dedicated to the patron saint of romantic causes, St. Valentine.
well i have read the bible and many stories from it and i think saint valentine wasn't growing up but when he needed Jesus he started following him
Saint Bernadette was visited by the Blessed Virgin Mary seventeen times. Mary told Bernadette to dig in the mud, and when Bernadette did a spring appeared. Many miracles happened when people used the spring.
Saint Benedict is a revered figure known for performing miracles during his lifetime, such as healing the sick and casting out demons. After his death, many believers attribute further miracles to his intercession, including healing the sick, protecting against evil forces, and bringing about conversions. These posthumous miracles have contributed to his lasting influence and recognition as a patron saint of various causes.
Saint Laura Montoya Upegui, known for her dedication to education and the care of indigenous communities in Colombia, is credited with several miracles attributed to her intercession. Among the notable miracles is the healing of a woman suffering from cancer, which was deemed inexplicable by medical professionals. Additionally, other reports of miraculous healings and transformations in the lives of those who prayed to her have contributed to her canonization. Her life and mission continue to inspire many, reflecting her deep faith and commitment to service.
Yes, St. George was a real person and is considered as a saint but many of the things he is credited with doing are myths.
The Catholic Church recognizes two Saint Valentines: Saint Valentine of Rome and Saint Valentine of Terni. Both are honored on February 14th, but there is some debate about whether they were the same person or two different individuals.
There is only the legend of one. In the legend, Saint Valentine is sent to jail for assisting Christians or refusing to convert to paganism. While there, he heals the jailer's daughter of her blindness, and sends her letters signed "your Valentine." Since the legend was written many many years after the life of Saint Valentine, there is no way to know if it is actually true.
Bernadette was responsible for many, many miracles and they continue even today. However, the Church must investigate and verify a number of miracles (today I believe it is two) before a person can be beatified and canonized a saint. Rather than listing the miracles here that were accepted by the Church in the cause of St. Bernadette I have inserted a link below that describes her complete canonization process and gives vivid accounts of the miracles that supported her cause.
