You are wondering who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? It's was reason because I decided to write this post and answer to all your questions about St Valentine.
Valentine's day is named after Saint Valentine, a Catholic priest who lived in Rome in the 3rd century. At the time of Valentine's life, many Romans were converting to Christianity, but the emperor Claudius II was pagan and created strict laws about what Christians were allowed to do. Claudius believed that Roman soldiers should be completely devoted to Rome and passed a law preventing them from marrying. St Valentine began to marry these soldiers in secret Christian ceremonies and this was the beginning of his reputation for believing in the importance of love. Valentine was found out and jailed for his crimes against Claudius. He was executed on 14 February in the year 270.
While he was in prison it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl, who may have been emparor's daughter. She visited him during his confinement. Before his death, he wrote her a letter,that is still in use today.

Zooey Deschanel is that quirky girl everyone wants to be or be with. Basically the boy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) meets a girl (Deschanel), and falls in love, but she is not into it.
