The Real Origin of Valentine’s Day

Why was the very first Valentine sent from a third-century Roman prison cell? The real origin of Valentine’s Day goes far beyond the billion greeting cards sent each year, tracing back to a defiant Saint Valentine, a furious Emperor Claudius, and banned secret weddings. From the shadowy, pagan festival of Lupercalia to a condemned man’s final note to a jailer’s daughter signed "Love, your Valentine," the true history of Valentine's Day is much more complex and mysterious than modern commercialism suggests. But with these murky, secular roots, is there a biblical reason Christians shouldn't celebrate February 14th, or is it perfectly fine to participate? Watch to learn the startling truth behind Saint Valentine and see how believers can navigate this holiday today. Source: https://www.gotquestions.org/Valentines-Day.html
