Subject: Should christians celebrate Valentine? |
Bible Note: Actually Valentines Day was to honor a martyr a cleric named Valentine and was celebrated by all Christians since the Catholic Church was the only church at the time. It wasn't until the Reformation about 1200 years later that the division between Catholic and Protestant was made. Valentine was a Christian martyr that got on the wrong side of Rome by holding Christian weddings. He was interrogated by the Caesar Claudius and tried to convert Claudius which infuriated Claudius to condemn Valentine to death. Before his execution he prayed for the jailer’s daughter who was blind and it is said God healed her. It was these two acts, acts of love; one of bringing people together in marriage and the other praying for someone while being readied to execution that is why the Christian church chose to honor him. |
