Ever wondered who Saint Valentine was? Well, he was a priest who lived in Italy, way back in the 3rd century. His work was primarily ministering to persecuted Christians, and he died a martyr’s death in Rome - on February 14. Two hundred years later he was granted sainthood, and February 14 was designated by the Church as a holy day.

Tonight marks the 62nd anniversary of a momentous moment. 78 million Americans tuned their TVs to the Ed Sullivan Show, and the world of popular music was changed forever, as four young lads from Liverpool took the stage.

On this day, in 1936, the Parker Brothers Company premiered a new game. They called it “Monopoly”. Over 300 million sets have been sold since that day, in 37 different languages.

We are right smack dab in the middle of the cold and flu season. So, the important question of the day is - What do you say when someone sneezes? In the year 1600, Pope Gregory declared that the proper response was “God bless you!” Aren’t you glad that you’re a Daily Devotion reader and get the benefit of little tidbits of trivia like that? By the way, when the pope made that decree, the world was suffering from a pandemic - not Covid... the Plague!

Welcome to February. Welcome to Groundhog Day. At 6:30 this morning, a little furry rodent emerged from his little wooden house and (drum roll please) he saw his shadow! That means six more weeks of winter. But don’t despair - we’re talking about woodchuck here, not a weatherman, and so we might still have an early spring. Hope springs eternal!

If you read yesterday’s devotion, you’ll remember that our focus was on connections - our connections with the characters of the Bible. It was a theme that seemed to resonate with more than a few of our readers, many of whom emailed in about their “Bible person” - the person of the Word that they most identify with. If you have one of those special connections, I would love to hear about it!
