The Dark Origins of Valentine’s Day
On February 14, couples from around the world recognize Valentine’s Day. For most, Valentine’s Day is a day of love, a day to shower a beloved with gifts and tokens of appreciation, to enjoy a romantic meal, and perhaps to share moments of intimacy. Cynics consider it to be a Hallmark greeting-card holiday, created by the retail business in order to get people to spend money on flowers, chocolates, stuffed animals, jewelry, travel, meals, and other luxuries. However, Valentine’s Day is not a modern creation. Rather, it is a day with ancient roots, both cultural and religious. With many legends and tales surrounding Valentine’s Day, the supposed day of love, it can be difficult to ascertain exactly where and how Valentine’s Day originated.
Pagan Roots of Valentine’s Day
During Roman times, an annual festival known as Lupercalia occurred from February 13 – 15 of each year. During this festival, men would strip naked and swat young maidens with dog- or goat-skin whips, supposedly to increase their fertility. This practice began well before Christianity was adopted within the Roman Empire, and it continued after the legalization of Christianity.

Here is your democracy of Rome at work that Biden and Kalama keep trying to promote . We are not a democracy we are a Republic !!! Say the pledge to the American flag and knowidice carefully because it tells you we are a Republic and not a dictatorship democracy like Rome with a Censor or like Cuba with a Castro or Germany who once had a Hitler with dictatorship !!! Remind the Democrats that our pledge to our American flag tells us who we are , no wonder Obama and Biden leadership has had the pledge to our flag removed from schools !!! A Republic means for the People and by the People !!! Not for the dictatorship by the dictatorship !!!
Everything on earth has a positive and a negative energy , this is like electricity which creates a flow of energy . Valentine’s day is like Halloween . Halloween used to be a positive day which was all Saints Day . The book of Job described a day when all Spirits had to report their activities to “ALL MIGHTY GOD ” . Spirits would be as sending and defending . Sometimes these Spirits would be seen by humans .
All Hollows Eve or All Saints day was the day GOD finished making creation and rested , so Saints honored this day as a Holy Day or Holi-day !!! So once a year GOD had all Spirits report to HIM as to what they have been doing . Therefore if you are going to be good be good and If bad then be bad ! YOU ARE NOT STRADDLING THE FENCE WITH GOD !!! I guess Rome had a hand in changing this Holiday Too like…
totally pagan as are most of the other things that are either celebrated or made holiday. there is usually a false god behind it also. as is the case with valentines day: eros!
