What happened to Saint Valentine's Day?

Asked by Ivy (2482points) February 14th, 2010

The ‘holiday’ has been shortened to Valentine’s Day.
Was this for commerical reasons?
Does anyone know who Saint Valentine was or what he did?
And what exactly does giving or receiving a box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers have to do with showing real love?
In other words, what’s love got to do with Saint Valentine’s Day?
