Saint Valentine's Key

Saint Valentine's Key is a metal key charm named after Saint Valentine, the patron saint of love and marriage inter alia. The charm is used in the province of Padua, Italy, where it is believed to offer a cure for epilepsy, a condition traditionally known as "Saint Valentine's Malady." In addition to its curative properties, the key is also gifted as a romantic symbol, an invitation to "unlock the giver's heart."
