In 1969 a number of saints were dropped from the Calendar of Saints. However, veneration, in most cases, is still allowed. Valentine was a bishop in early Rome who died as a martyr. Little else is known about his life and for this reason his name was dropped from the calendar. His feast day, like Christmas and St. Patrick's Day, has been highjacked by the secular world and turned into debauchery and highly commercialized.
