Sort of back on topic: How did a feast to celebrate the beheading of a saint for refusing to denounce Jesus in front of Claudius (if I remember the Caesar correctly) turn into a day for saturated fat, dead vegetation, and slutty lingerie?

Feb 14th was an ancient Roman festival celebrating fertility like many Christian holidays its roots are in pagan culture.
