Tomorrow is #InternationalWomensDay and I want something about an #AngloSaxon saint (some of you will know how much I love them).
I have lots of obscure saints to pick from but then I think, maybe I should go for someone more well known? However, my true love are unattested and local saints, they're always so interesting and magical,
I have so many that I love, I just can't decide.
So here is a little poll, to see what you guys think. Please pass it around
In Norfolk there was a tradition on Valentine’s Eve of gifts being exchanged between lovers and sweets/chocolate being left for children. The giver of the gifts to children was known as Jack Valentine or slightly more creepily Snatch Valentine. This second name meant the gift would have string attached which would be pulled every time the child tried to grab the present until the third time when they would be allowed to keep it.
