February 14 is NOT Christian. It is a day celebrated as Lupercalia (known as the “festival of sexual license”).
This demonic day was held by the ancient Romans in honor of Lupercus, god of fertility and husbandry, protector of herds and crops,
2. and a mighty hunter—especially of wolves. The Romans believed that Lupercus would protect Rome from roving bands of wolves, which devoured livestock and people.
Assisted by Vestal Virgins, the Luperci (male priests) conducted purification rites by sacrificing goats…
3. a dog in the Lupercal cave on Palatine Hill, where the Romans believed the twins Romulus and Remus had been sheltered and nursed by a she-wolf before they eventually founded Rome. Clothed in loincloths made from sacrificed goats and smeared in their blood, the Luperci would…
4. run about Rome, striking women with februa, thongs made from skins of the sacrificed goats. The Luperci believed that the floggings purified women and guaranteed their fertility and ease of childbirth. February derives from februa or “means of purification.”
5. To the Romans, February was also sacred to Juno Februata, the goddess of febris (“fever”) of love, and of women and marriage. On February 14, billets (small pieces of paper, each of which had the name of a teen-aged girl written on it) were put into a container.
6. Teen-aged boys would then choose one billet at random. The boy and the girl whose name was drawn would become a “couple,” joining in erotic-sexual games at feasts and parties celebrated throughout Rome. After the festival, they would remain sexual partners for the rest of the
7. year. This custom was observed in the Roman Empire for centuries and this is what we reinvented and made it a LOVERS DAY.
Sorry for ruining your day - you fake lovers and genuine alike.
7. I used to think it’s ok but I don’t need a day to celebrate love when my God, JESUS CHRIST is LOVE!
