Lot 274 Cell: 847 445-0077 HAPPY VALENTINES DAY POSSIBLE ORIGIN
February 14, 270 a man named Valentine was imprisoned, beaten and beheaded along the Flaminian Way. Sound romantic to you? How did his martyrdom become a day for lovers and flowers; candy and little romantic poems…..reading roses are red? According to legend, Valentine had spent a lot of time imprisoned. During this time he became friends with the jailer’s daughter; being deprived of books he amused himself by cutting shapes in paper and writing notes to her. His last note arrived on the morning of his death, and ended with the words “Your Valentine.” In 496 February 14 was named in his honor. A Roman festival began in which men put names of girls in a box, drew them out and celebrated love making. Is there any real truth in this story? Valentine possibly conducted underground wed- dings and indeed sent notes to the jailer’s daughter. He may have signed them “your Valentine.” Most certainly he didn’t sign them “Roses are red violets are blue.” Beyond possible fiction there is reality to love, a love greater than this legend. 1 Corinthians 13 in the New Testament describes real love, love we can each aspire to, but even better describes Jesus Christ’s love to us…read the chapter and put the word Jesus in place of the word love. You will see how real and great his love for us is…if that passage is too long for you read John 3:16 and put your name in the verse where it says world…there is no myth or legend to either of these. Want to learn more about this love? Attend Chapel at 8:50 each Sunday.
