Should Christians Celebrate Valentine’s Day? | History, Conviction, and Biblical Love

Valentine’s Day is widely known as a celebration of romance, flowers, chocolates, and public expressions of affection. But should Christians participate in it? In this thoughtful and theologically reflective video, we explore the historical background of Valentine’s Day from the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia to the story of Saint Valentine, to its development during the Middle Ages, and its modern commercialization in countries like the United States. More importantly, we examine the biblical concerns that lead some Christians to abstain: • Pagan roots and syncretism • The overemphasis on romantic or erotic love • Commercialization and materialism • Emotional pressure and cultural expectations • The call to daily, sacrificial, Christ-centered love At the same time, we present a balanced perspective rooted in Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 10:31, reminding believers that the ultimate question is not merely about a date on the calendar—but about the heart and the glory of God. Whether you celebrate or abstain, this video challenges you to reflect deeply on what biblical love truly means. “Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
