The Feast of St Valentine in the Cape

Die fees van Sint Valentyn in die Kaap

Chivalry is not dead in South Africa: on the feast of Saint Valentine, the third-century martyr and patron-saint of lovers, the men of Majuba House at Stellenbosch University give flowers to ladies on campus.

A nice tradition!

Hoflikheid is nie dood nie in Suid-Afrika: op die fees van St Valentyn, die derde-eeuse martelaar en beskermheilige van liefde, manne van die Majuba manskoshuis in Stellenbosch gee blomme aan damestudente op kampus.

’n Lekker tradisie!

BID VIR ONS!
PRAY FOR US!
PS: If you are a pious soul and wish to promote devotion to St Valentine, what better way than to say it with a t-shirt of his skull?

This handsome design (below) is available in a variety of colours from Tees to the Kingdom on Etsy.
