It's a very old feast day, which, like most other feast days (Christmas) has been taken over by marketing and gimmicks. Now it has more in common with the "Love Day" of the Simpsons (which WAS a fake holiday). I think St. Valentine would be mystified by the fact that he is (now) commemorated by a day dedicated to social pressure to have a date, get jewelry, and get laid. </p>
