SAINT VALENTINE REALLY GOT AROUND!

Kimo -  I hope everybody is in love with someone or something :)

Carolyn -  I am not a Catholic, Roman or otherwise, so I appreciate you pointing out the somewhat incorrect usage of the word "worshipped" .  When I looked it up, this is what I found: 

"The word "worship" has undergone a change in meaning in English. It comes from the Old English weorthscipe, which means the condition of being worthy of honour, respect, or dignity. To worship in the older, larger sense is to ascribe honour, worth, or excellence to someone, whether a sage, a magistrate, or God. In Scripture, the term "worship" was similarly broad in meaning, but in the early Christian centuries, theologians began to differentiate between different types of honour in order to make more clear which is due to God and which is not. As the terminology of Christian theology developed, the Greek term latria came to be used to refer to the honour that is due to God alone, and the term dulia came to refer to the honour that is due to human beings, especially those who lived and died in God’s friendship—in other words, the saints. Scripture indicates that honour is due to these individuals (Matt. 10:41b).  These terms—latria, dulia, used to be lumped under the one English word "worship." Sometimes when one reads old books discussing the subject of how particular persons are to be honoured, they will qualify the word "worship" by referring to "the worship of latria" or "the worship of dulia." To contemporaries and to those not familiar with the history of these terms, however, this is too confusing. "

I will update the main part of this post to draw the attention to our discussion.  Thanks again for pointing this out.

Travis -  isn't every day Valentine's Day?   LOL
