About Valentine's Day – Muluwa Chrispin

 



 

Valentine's Day, celebrated annually on February 14, is a global holiday dedicated to expressing love and affection through cards, flowers, chocolates, and gifts. In 2026, it falls on a Saturday. It originated from a blend of ancient Roman fertility festivals (Lupercalia) and Christian traditions honoring St. Valentine. 

Key Aspects of Valentine's Day:

  • Origins: The day is named after St. Valentine, a Christian martyr from the 3rd century. Legend suggests he was executed for secretly marrying couples, disobeying Emperor Claudius II, who believed single men made better soldiers.
  • Traditions: Common traditions include exchanging handwritten or store-bought cards ("valentines"), gifting roses, candy, and jewelry to partners, friends, and family.
  • Modern Celebration: It is a major commercial holiday often marked by romantic dinners and proposals, with roots in medieval courtly love traditions and Victorian-era card-giving. 

While originally a religious feast day, it has evolved into a popular, secular celebration of love and romance worldwide.

PRAYER AND FASTING - MULUWA CHRISPIN

  Prayer and fasting are powerful spiritual practices that draw us closer to God and strengthen our faith. Through prayer, we speak to God and receive peace, wisdom, and direction (Philippians 4:6–7). Fasting humbles our hearts and helps us depend fully on God rather than our own strength (Psalm 35:13). The Bible reminds us that “when you fast” and “when you pray,” showing that these are not optional but essential disciplines for believers (Matthew 6:6, 16). In times of challenges, prayer and fasting bring spiritual breakthrough, because “this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21). Let us encourage one another—family, friends, and loved ones—to remain committed to prayer and fasting. The truth is clear: victory begins in the place of surrender. “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). When we pray and fast, God renews our strength and guides our steps.
