St. Valentine's Day

 

The Church recognizes THREE St. Valentines...all martyrs.

This relic is one of them, I guess. You can see it in Rome at the Santa Maria in Cosmedin Church.

Let's see what our Muslim friends are thinking. Here are Egyptian cleric Hazem Shumen's thoughts:

"Imagine that the Prophet Muhammad is standing before you, and so are the Jews and the Christians. The more you celebrate Valentine’s Day, the more the Jews and Christians are happy, and the more the Prophet Muhammad is sad. The more you do this, the more the Jews and the Christians gloat at us, while tears flow from the Prophet’s eyes. Do you want to make the Prophet sad and the Jews and Christians happy?!"

That's a tough one.
