THE DARK TRUTH BEHIND VALENTINE'S DAY - SATANIC ORIGINS

THE DARK TRUTH BEHIND VALENTINE'S DAY - SATANIC ORIGINS

Valentine’s Day, also called St. Valentine’s Day, holiday (February 14) when lovers express their affection with greetings and gifts. Given their similarities, it has been suggested that the holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February. The festival, which celebrated the coming of spring, included fertility rites and the pairing off of women with men by lottery. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I forbid the celebration of Lupercalia and is sometimes attributed with replacing it with St. Valentine’s Day, but the true origin of the holiday is vague at best. Valentine’s Day did not come to be celebrated as a day of romance until about the 14th century.

The office had a form of V Day yesterday. Being the only Muslim in my department I declined the invite and did not even witness this kufr. They may call me unsociable or odd but I will not compromise on Deen. We work very hard to be on the straight and to seek the Mercy of Allah daily. Can't allow a few hours of kufr and shirk to enter my soul. Alhamdullilah for Islam. His greatest bounty is what He has given us.

The Gro-Romans have made ungodly pagans out of us. It is going to take some serious repentance to cleanse our souls.

Utter nonsense - you really need to pick up a few books. Lupercalia has nothing to do with Valentine's Day, St. Valentine, or some made-up supposition regarding the early Christian church.

With respect to the Lupercalia-Valentine’s connection, most scholars would argue that there is absolutely no connection between two whatsoever.


Lupercalia was celebrated from the 13th to the 15th of February. But here’s the thing - Lupecalia was a very local thing; it was held almost exclusively in Rome. There are only scant references to it being held anywhere else. It was not a Roman Empire-wide celebration; thus, could not have possibly been the seeding of some sort of “proto-Valentine’s Day” across Europe.

The earliest attested historical record of the Lupercalia comes from the 3rd century BCE, while the last record was from the end of the 5th century CE — around the same time Pope Gelasius I made February 14 into a day that would honor the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine.

At no point however does Gelasius speak of compromise, or of adapting any pagan customs. Even though they weren’t far apart chronologically, the supposed symbolic overlap between the two took centuries more to develop, as Valentine’s Day hadn’t yet acquired the romantic meaning it has today. In the early church, this would have been a solemn celebration; not the holiday it is today. Indeed, it is quite possible that Gelasius was partly responsible for Lupercalia’s decline.

There just isn’t any historical evidence to suggest that one was replaced by another.

Valentine’s Day and romance became associated with each other only in the late 14th century with a few well-known poems of Geoffrey Chaucer (of Canterbury Tales fame). That’s a pretty huge gap between the late 1300’s and the end of Lupercalia in the 400’s. A thousand year gap where nothing resembling Lupercalia or romance and Valentine’s Day is historically attested or recorded.

It would seem, under closer examination, that a supposed connection between Valentine’s Day and the Roman Lupercalia lies solely within the realm of some very wishful thinking.
