Manage episode 284648934 series 2859814
The History of St. Valentine's Day. In episode four, Liz and Dakota discuss the history surrounding St. Valentines Day. They explore how does one become a saint, the pagan celebration that occurred before the Christianization of February 15, and Dakota's disdain for all things Valentine. They also get into the toe bones and the werewolves who were part of the founding of Rome. Okay, there weren't actually werewolves, but it would have been cool if there were.
So if you love love, take a listen to this weeks episode.
