He was martyred and laid to rest on February 14, leading to the establishment of the Feast of Saint Valentine in the eighth century. His relics were esteemed in several churches, such as the Church and Catacombs of San Valentino in Rome. He is revered as a patron saint of Terni, epilepsy, and beekeepers.
