A newly program created into some church events now.Yet it's a worldly event that found no connection with the scriptures. Some other ones does not even fall on a Sunday like this but one way they incorporate it into their services claiming they want to USE IT AS A MEANS TO REAP SOULS FOR CHRIST, His standard remains.... Apostle Paul alone did not ask us to fix a date to Celebrate love how much more Christ. Love is not an event, it should be a lifestyle that should be celebrated all days. Again, don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you.

I'm not against strategy (if sanctioned by God)but itz unwise to leave substance to chase shadows,if Valentine was showing the love of Christ,why can't those who cannonized him not point people to the true source?Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith.There's no greater love than what was demonstrated by Jesus.

It seems as if all the Roman catholic feasts are gotten from Romans PAGAN feast and celebrations.the question is why is it so?


The early church which transforms pagan festivals by giving them Christian meaning, decided to do away with the pagan element which was eroding the faith of the early Christians by substituting the names of saints for those pagan gods and goddess.

If you knew Christ replaced Adam you wouldn't ask the question. This is one of the ways the work of the enemy is destroyed. Catholic church knows better than you. Though the enemy is a resilient one, if not, none would still be sinning aftet Our Saviour's death and the Church's efforts.

Not all Catholic feast are gotten from Pagan worship or rituals. With the exception of a few like Christmas (Previously worship of the sun god) and valentine day (Lupercalia by the ancient pagans) The others are derived from the lives of individuals who lived good lives while on earth. Hope that satisfies your curiosity.

That should be none of your business. Your personal encounter with the Christ is what matters and not a canonical or conviction from a group of religious fellow. Please valentine is a day celebrated of evil and it doesn't show love of Christ in anyway. Stop confusing men
