February
Longing for nice weather? St. Valentine, celebrated February 14, is your man. A 3rd-century Roman priest and physician, Valentine was beheaded for refusing to renounce his faith. Some flowers begin to blossom this month and the beginning of Lent is when dead branches of the fruit trees are often burned. St. Valentine is patron saint of lovers, who celebrate this month with flowers and sweets.
