VALENTINE FEAST AND IT'S MENACE

Valentine day, also known as saint valentine day or the feast of saint valentine is celebrated annually on the 14 day of the month of February
It originated as a Christian feast day to honor a martyr name valentine .

Saint valentine was imprisoned by the Roman government for ministering the word of God to christians who were under critical persecution under the Roman empire in the 3rd century.
By the grace of God, he restore sight to the blind daughter of his jailer undermining the fact that he was jailed by her father. He perform wedding for christian soldiers who were forbidden to marry by Roman government.
Before he was finally executed, he wrote a letter to the daughter of his jailer who he had previously restore her sight and signed "your's valentine" as a farewell.
His exploit was better related to the theme LOVE.

In the 18th century, in England, it grew into occasion for couples to express their love for each other by presenting gift, flower, offering confectionery and sending greeting cards.

The feast of saint valentine is not a public holiday in any country of the world. Although it is an official feast day in the Anglican communion and the Lutheran church. many eastern Orthodox church also celebrate valentine day.

There is a total shift from what saint valentine feast represents and what he died for in this generation . From the love of God to the love man. From agape love to erotic and romantic love

It is a day where people spend money parting,
Some go into stealing and prostitution to raise money for this feast.A day for new boyfriend and girlfriend, a day to have unwanted sex. Wife fight with their husband for inability to provide material things for this feast

I am calling on parents to educate their children on what this day represents and how it should be celebrated to avoid the scenes below.
