Should Christians celebrate St. Valentines Day?
No, they should not. If they are true Christians they won’t. It is not in the bible to celebrate any holiday, expect the memorial of Jesus Christ death. What is the origin of Valentine’s day? The World Book Encyclopedia informs us: “Valentine’s Day comes on the feast day of two different Christian martyrs named Valentine. But the customs connected with the day…probably come from an ancient Roman festival called “Lupercalia” which took place every February 15. The festival honored Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage, and Pan, the god of nature.” (1973) Vol. 20 P. 204.
