Should Cristians celebrate Valentine's Day


            Before I answer this question let’s ask one simple question, should Christians celebrate anything? Christians were never told to celebrate anything that did not have something to do with his love for his people (Christmas, Resurrection Sunday, the Passover, etc.). In all of the celebrations we are to celebrate not once did I see anything that says to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day? Holy days and holidays are not to be mistaken (Sunday is a holy day valentines is a holiday).

            I am not calling anyone who would choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day evil I’m not even calling Valentine’s Day evil I am only shedding light on it, and those with ears to hear and eyes to see will understand. It is not my place to judge because I don’t know if it has pagan roots or not but I do know if you know it has pagan roots and still celebrate it you will be judged for your actions according to your knowledge.

            If you do choose to celebrate it that’s your choice and no one else’s but before you choose ask yourself this question why? Find three good reasons and continue with your celebration. Sometimes on Valentine’s Day we like to give roses and chocolates to the ones we love, there’s nothing wrong with that but remember roses wilt and chocolates melt but the word of God never fades.

            In conclusion the choice is completely yours. I will say that can and my view will never be yours and my reasons will never be yours, but those with ears to hear and eyes to see will be given knowledge and understanding. So no matter how persuasive my paper the final choice is yours and yours alone.
