Valentine’s Day is a ubiquitous global tradition accepted as a celebration of love and endorsed by Christianity and commerce alike. However, the origins of the custom are sordid. St. Valentine apparently existed only in legend. The day was likely named for a popular Gnostic heretic who blended pagan ideas into Catholic doctrine and promoted eroticism as a way to connect with the spirit realm. In 496 AD, the Catholic Church appropriated and renamed Lupercalia, an ancient orgiastic festival worshipping fertility and Roman pagan deity Lupercus, the mighty wolf hunter. A straight line can be drawn linking Lupercus to other gods, namely the Greek Pan and then the Phoenecian Baal. This chain ultimately leads to Nimrod, the "mighty hunter" mentioned in Genesis who stood against God, deified himself, and established trinitarian ideas and goddess worship. Interestingly, Valentine means "strong" or "powerful". So a clear case is made that Valentine's Day celebrates the anti-christ Nimrod. Certainly ancient religions have worshiped sex and fertility from antiquity. Valentine's Day is idolatry. Who cares? God does. He is strenuous in His instructions that we are not to offer anything to other gods – not time, attention or honor. Those who seek to worship the true God in sincerity and truth must separate from paganism, no matter how it is labeled.
