I just got a book today about the origins of holidays, guess I shouldn't speed read?:D
EDIT: Here it is:
The Catholic Church's attempt to paper over a popular pagan fertility rite with the clubbing death and decapitation of one of it's own martyrs is the origin of this lover's holiday.
GD, Catholics are fun!
