¡Buenas, buenas! Venimos con la fiesta gringa por excelencia(?)

Saint Valentine

Died: 269

Feast day: February 14

Patronage: love, youth, happy marriagesSaint Valentine of Rome was a bishop and martyr of the early church. Not much is known about him, except that his relics were found in the catacombs and an ancient church was dedicated to him. Tradition has it that Valentine cured the blind daughter of a Roman judge who along with his household, was later baptized. St. Valentine married couples, going against the edict of Cladius II. It was said that on the day of his execution, he gave a note to his jailer’s daughter that he cured, that was signed “your Valentine”. He’s pictured with birds because birds start pairing in February around his feast day.

Christine Clarke is a 35-year old tailor who hasn't had so much luck in the search of the love of her life. On the other hand, there's news that torments her: a criminal abuses and kills women very similar to her.

One day, one of her friends proposes her a blind date that she herself has arranged for her and Christine accepts without much hope. The date is a complete mismatch that makes her feel uncomfortable, and she is too polite to leave. But then an attractive man appears and saves the situation by making an excuse up.

They leave the café together...

A final farewell

before my blood

Will be shed on the earth,

one last prayer

before I reach

the light of Heaven.

A last act of love

before I say goodbye to you,

and I hope that your heart

will still be open

to love

after sadness.

From your Valentine.
