Why is it that you Anglos shorten Saint Valentine's Day to Valentine's Day, but Saint Patrick's Day obviously remains a saint's day? This is all the more confusing to me since St. Patrick's Day celebration are far more pagan than Saint Valentine's Day celebrations, wouldn't you say?

Anyone know the reason or have a theory???
