Valentine’s Day is a Pagan Holiday Celebration

Celebrating Valentine’s Day has dark origins rooted in ancient Paganism

Valentine’s Day is a pagan holiday celebration that has become a global phenomenon, with many people all over the world taking part in the festivities.

But wait! Do you know Valentine’s Day has dark origins? In this article, I’ll explore the hidden, evil origins of Valentine’s Day that many people do not know about this day.

Valentine’s Day, the holiday celebrated on the 14th of February each year, is widely recognized as a day for couples to show their love and affection for each other.

However, the origins of this holiday have a much deeper and complex history, one that dates back to ancient times and is rooted in paganism.

The earliest origins of Valentine’s Day can be traced back to the Roman Empire, where it was a pagan festival called Lupercalia.

This festival, which took place in mid-February, was a celebration of love, fertility, and the coming of spring. It was a time of revelry and celebration, where people would gather to exchange gifts, feast, and engage in various love-themed activities.

One of the most significant rituals associated with Lupercalia was the matchmaking process. On the first day of the festival, the names of eligible bachelors and maidens were written on slips of paper and placed in a box.

The names were then drawn at random, and the couple paired together for the duration of the festival. This was seen as a way of fostering new relationships and promoting love and fertility.

Despite its pagan roots, Lupercalia survived the conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity, and it continued to be celebrated for many centuries.

However, the church saw the festival as a pagan celebration that went against Christian principles and sought to suppress it.

To this end, the church created a saint named Saint Valentine, and in the 4th century AD, Pope Gelasius declared February 14th as Saint Valentine’s Day, in an attempt to Christianize the pagan festival.

Over time, the holiday evolved, and its focus shifted away from the ancient pagan customs to a more romantic celebration.

The exchange of love letters and gifts became a significant part of the holiday, and the custom of matchmaking was replaced by the celebration of existing relationships.

Yes, Valentine’s Day is celebrated all over the world as a day for couples to show their love and appreciation for each other, with chocolates, flowers, and romantic gestures being the norm.

In conclusion, Valentine’s Day is a holiday that has its roots deeply embedded in paganism, dating back to the Roman Empire and the pagan festival of Lupercalia.

Despite efforts by the churches, especially the Roman Catholic church, to Christianize this holiday, its pagan origins continue to be very evident in the celebration of love, fertility, and spring.

Today, Valentine’s Day is celebrated as a day for couples to express their love for each other, but many people don’t know that Valentine’s Day is a Pagan holiday celebration.

I can’t stop you from celebrating it, but as a true Christian, it is my sacred duty to let others know about its demonic origins. May you heed to the call.
