Valentine's Day is a christian holdover from the Roman situations at the same time as Feb. 15th (or thereabouts) grow to be celebrated because the day each and each and every of the birds in Rome had sex to initiate the spring-time beginning of the chicks some weeks later. Christians, as with lots of the holiday journeys celebrated in the liturgical calendar, appropriated pagan holiday journeys and grew to grow to be them into banquet days to get persons to church and drop a coin in the basket.

Answer 5

Yes. it originates from an ancient Roman festival celebrating fornication and the occult, both of which are condemned by the Old and New Testaments. Read on:

On this day, Lupercalia, which was later named Valentine’s Day, the Luperci or priests of Lupercus dressed in goatskins for a bloody ceremony. The priests of Lupercus, the wolf god, would sacrifice goats and a dog and then smear themselves with blood. These priests, made red with sacrificial blood, would run around Palatine Hill in a wild frenzy while carving a goatskin thong called a “februa.” Women would sit all around the hill, as the bloody priests would strike them with the goatskin thongs to make them fertile. The young women would then gather in the city and their names were put in boxes. These “love notes” were called “billets.” The men of Rome would draw a billet, and the woman whose name was on it became his sexual lust partner with whom he would fornicate until the next Lupercalia or February 14th.

No, it's a Christian holiday. It celebrates the gifts St. Valentine bestowed upon a blind girl who's faith gave her sight again. St. Valentine was the man who gave her the gift of faith in the one true God. The day celebrate his life in God, he died because of his faith making his a martyr.

Answer 10

It's probably not a good thing, actually. Most of these types of celebrations have pagan origins (although I'm too tired to look it up right now). I wouldn't care about observing it. What's the point?
