The church festival
Until the Second Vatican Council (1969), the Catholic Church recognized eleven Valentine’s Days. And on February 14 were held at least three:

* Valentine of Rome (Valentinus Presber. M. Romae): a Roman priest who was martyred about AD 269 and was buried on the Via Flaminia. His relics are in the Church of Santa Práxedes in Rome. and the Carmelite church Whitefriar Street in Dublin (Ireland).
* Valentine of Terni (Valentinus ep. Interamnensis m. Romae): around the year 197 he became bishop of Interamna (modern Terni). Also buried on the Via Flaminia, but in another place that St. Valentine. His relics are at the Basilica of Saint Valentine in Terni (Basilica di San Valentino).
* A third saint named Valentine (according to Catholic Encyclopedia) was mentioned in early martyrologies under the same date (February 14). Only be said to have been martyred in Africa with several companions.

Some sources say the Valentine linked to love is the Valentine of Rome. Others say it’s St. Valentine of Terni. Some scholars (such as Jesuit philologists Boland) [citation needed] concluded that both would be the same person. Anyway, in the hagiographies of both martyrs (written in the early Middle Ages) there is no romantic element.
