We celebrate February 14th as a day to remember love and to show affection to those we love. This day is in the memory of a man named Saint Valentine. S. Valentine lived in 469 A.D. There where three men named Saint Valentine and all of them were martyrs for their Christians beliefs in God.
The story is told that a Roman emperor (ruler) banned soldiers from marrying in the third century. St. Valentine did not think that this was fair or right so he decided to marry the soldiers and to speak out against this very matter.
The legend is that St. Valentine was executed for his Christians belief in Jesus and he was put to death. Before he died he left a farewell note for a love one that said, “From Your Valentine”.
Now on this day people send gifts to people they love to express their love for each other. Some people send flowers and others candy or greeting cards.
Jesus’ wants to be your Valentine
The Bible speaks about how God sent us a Valentine card too. The bible says that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that if we believe in Him we will not perish but have everlasting life. I John 4:8 say’s, “God is Love.” Share his love with everyone you know.
