UNDERSTANDING VALENTINE’S DAY

February 14th was called “Lupercalia” or “day of the wolf”.

This was a day that was sacred to the sexual frenzy of the goddess Juno. This day also honored the Roman gods, Lupercus and Faunus, as well as the legendary twin brothers, who supposedly founded Rome, REMUS AND ROMULUS.

Lupercous = hunter of wolves

The customs included exchanging valentines and all the other traditions in honor of Lupercus who was also linked with an ancient pagan practice of teen-agers “going steady” . . . leading to fornication.

THE DAY OF LUPERCALIA

On this day, the Luperci or priests of Lupercus dressed in goat skins for a bloody ceremony. The wolf god would sacrifice goats and a dog and then smear themselves with blood; he would run around a hill while waving a goat skin called “februa.” from where we get the name February. Women would sit around the hill, as the priest would strike them with a goat skin to make them fertile.

LOVE NOTES

All the young women in the city would gather in the city and their names were put in the boxes. These “love notes” were called billets. The men of Rome would draw a billet, and the woman whose name was on the billet became his sexual lust partner with whom he would fornicate until the next Lupercalia or February 14th.

THE COLOR RED

The color red is sacred to that day because of the blood from the goat and dog and the heart shape was not after the human heart but represents the human matrix or opening to the chamber of sacred copulation.

ST. VALENTINE’S DAY

Saint valentine’s was an obscure, possibly legendary, martyr who by tradition was put to death by the Romans on February 14th, about AD 269. This day was made a feast day by the Roman Catholic Church. The day of his death coincided with that of the Roman feast of the Lupercalia….the celebration of the two merged.

So Valentine’s Day is nothing but a continuation of the Lupercalia.

On this day, millions of young people are losing their virginity and polluting their body with STDs, glorifying MARINE SPIRITS and capping it with unwanted pregnancies because of only one inconsequential day. And for many others, it’s Ok to have sexual intercourse just because it is Valentine.
Please, make the right choice and stay away from this wickedness. For many it is a day to make business. All the shops will during this week be clad in RED. Stay away from this frenzy!

CONCLUSION:

Hosea 4:6 “My people perish for lack of knowledge”

1 Peter 2:9 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light”

1 Corinthians 6:15-20 “Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

Luke 16:15 “And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.”

Matthew 15:3 “But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?”

Colossians 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”

Mark 7:7-9 “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.”

God gives each of us FREE WILL to either accept or reject His Word and His Commands. Therefore, the CHOICE to continue celebrating/participating Pagan Holidays is yours.

Acts 17:30 “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent”
