What is Valentine's Day really about?

Valentine's Day is a perpetuation of an olden days Eurocentric festival they use to honour their god of shepherds.

Generically, Valentine's Day has little or nothing to does with love or affection for our or anyone else's loved ones, however it is connected to sexual orgies, fornication, adultery, rape, lust, malicious drukedness e.t.c

In Roman and Greek mythology, Lupercus is identified with the Roman god who is the equivalent of the Greek god Pan Lupercus.

The Lupercus festival is celebrated on the 15th of February and was known as the Lupercalia.

It's important to note that "La Lupa Capitoline" (also known as Lupercal) is the matriarch of Rome. This narrative can be found in the story of Romulus and Remus.

In essence, Valentine's Day is a perpetuation of Roman and Greek mythology with the invention of a fictional character they now call St Valentine.

How does an arrow going through a heart (even though the heart doesn't really look anything similar to the image depicted) symbolise love and affection?

An arrow shot through the heart doesn't symbolise love and affection, instead it symbolises pain or worse.

During the original ceremony (Lupercalia) that would later be given the name Valentine's Day, adherents of these diabolic and vampiric festivals would sacrifice a goat, strip the flesh of the goat into thin slices and make it into a whip (koboko), they would dip the strips into the blood of the sacrificial goat and used the whip to commit henoius atrocities on their women.

Incidentally, they named the whip 'Februa'.

This is the origins of 'Valentine's Day' and has nothing to does with a fictional character named St Valentine.

Show your affection to your loved ones every day of the year; every year of our existence.

Let's not assist with the perpetuation of a diabolic and vampiric festival.

One doesn't need to wait until any specific day of any specific year for one to show how much we love one another.
