Valentine's Day is a Pagan Holiday

Valentine's Day is a Pagan Holiday

Valentine’s Day is a 20 billion dollar business.

It's not an American holiday and it's not a Christian holiday. It’s a pagan holiday designed to celebrate Lupercalia.

The Lupercalia festival started in Rome in honor of the false, pagan god of fertility named Lupercus!

February 14-15 was a time during the year when pagans would celebrate the winter solstice ending and the days becoming longer.

While pagans waited in anticipation of Spring, they would fornicate, get drunk and satisfy their lusts in worship of the pagan god Lupercus.

Christians have no business celebrating a holiday dedicated to a false, pagan sex god! The Bible says: Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord!

Galaltians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
