Valentine’s day is all about love. I remember it was something that we celebrated as young children. We would get “valentines” (little love note cards) and sign our name to the back and then distribute them to all of our classmates. It was at times special and awkward to receive a valentine from a secret admirer. As an adult I no longer really observe the day, but many Christians and non-Christians do. Since it is about love, it is very easy to find Bible verses that relate.
... so they decided lovers should celebrate love along with the birds!
What do you know about Valentine’s Day? Even today it is all about love notes, hearts, candy and even red roses. But did you know that originally it was about celebrating bird’s mating season? It’s true, mid February is when the bird mating season happens in European countries and so they decided lovers should celebrate love along with the birds! I found a little history of Valentine’s Day over at Christianity Today; read more here: Valentine’s Day.
Take a look at these Bible Quotes that you can meditate upon as Valentine’s Day approaches.
