Click on video below: history of Valentine
St. Valenties feast day is celebrated on Feb 14th. There is much about his life that is lost to history, this short video explains some of what is known about this catholic saint and how his day came to be associated with love and marriage.
Love is central to Christian teaching, St. Paul likely was aware that the temple of Aphrodite, goddess of love, loomed large over the city of Corinth when he penned the thirteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians. This may be a good time to turn our thoughts to St. Paul's concept of Christian 'agape' love. Take some time to read 1 Cor 13, the letter of 1 John, and the Gospel of John 20-21.
