Question: In February my children in school will be confronted with St, Valentine's Day. What should I tell them to do? Answer: Few know where the custom of celebrating St. Valentine's Day originated. We do not find any such practice in the Bible. How did we come to inherit these customs? It is time we examined, why children are encouraged to celebrate St. Valentine's Day when it is never so much as mentioned in the Bible or as a practice of the New Testament Church. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
