This Week We Celebrate


What do you do on Saint Valentine’s Day?

This has become a great business on behalf of love. But how much do we know about the origins of this celebration?

The feast may be in honor of a priest, Valentine, who was known to counsel and marry young couples.  This was at the time when Roman law persecuted Christians, so Valentine eventually incurred the wrath of Emperor Claudius II and was imprisoned.  When Valentine turned his attention to converting the Emperor himself, Claudius had him put to death.

  3. This is a true love story.
    It´s incredible as Saint Valentine sacrificed his life to help and marry other people.
    However he couldn´t live that experience with his lover.
