Saint Valentine's Key : ウィキペディア英語版 | Saint Valentine's Key Saint Valentine’s key is a charm used in the province of Padua, Italy. It is a metal key named after Saint Valentine, the patron saint not only of love and marriage but also of epilepsy, traditionally known as Saint Valentine's Malady. It was once common in southern Germany, eastern Switzerland, Austria, and northern Italy to appeal to him to heal the latter condition, known for that reason as Saint Valentine's affliction. The key is gifted as a romantic symbol and an invitation to "unlock the giver's heart". In a ceremony at the Oratorio di San Giorgio, a small chapel in Monselice, Padua, on Saint Valentine's Day each year, small golden keys are given to children to ward off epilepsy.〔(Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, "St Valentine Key, Italy" )〕 ==In local culture== A special ceremony where children are given small golden Saint Valentine's keys to ward off epilepsy is held at the St. George's Oratory, Padua, a small chapel in Monselice, Padua, on February 14, each year.
