*St. Valentine:
Patron of Love, Young People, Happy Marriages
Died: 269
"Valentinus was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius the Goth [Claudius II]. Since he was caught marrying Christian couples and aiding any Christians who were being persecuted under Emperor Claudius in Rome [when helping them was considered a crime], Valentinus was arrested and imprisoned. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner -- until Valentinus made a strategic error: he tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't do it, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate [circa 269]" (Catholic.org/saints).
* Grammar: Comma: To Set off with commas or not to set off with commas, that is the question.
- Read 32 e (pp. 378-382 in the book)
- Do ex. 32-3 letters and numbers (you may type or hand-write this as I am not collecting, only checking).
This will be the fifth rule to know for this week's quiz.
