ST. VALENTINE'S DAY Christian Custom? - or Pagan Superstition? - Herman L Hoeh - February 1966

Herman L Hoeh

Where did St. Valentine's Day come from? You might suppose school teachers and educators would know. But do they? How many of were ever taught the real origin of Valentine's Day? - were ever told in school why you should observe the custom of exchanging valentines? The Silence of Educators. Teachers are all too often silent about the origin of the customs they are forced to teach in today's Schools! If they were to speak out, many would lose their jobs! Isn't it time we examined why we encourage our children to celebrate St. Valentine's Day - when it is never so much as mentioned in the Bible as a practice of the New Testament Church? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
