Valentines day??

I dont celebrate Valentine's day. I cant understand why some Muslims out there make it into such a big deal...Dont they know??

Its history leads back to the Christian Priest Valentine. Its is said that once upon a time, the Roman Emperor, disallowed their men to get married reason being married men did not make good as a soldier. But then, this Priest Valentine had secretly performed marriage ceremonies...And he was arrested... At one time, the Emperor tried to persuade the Priest to converting to Roman paganism in a bid to save his life instead the Priest also tried to make the Emperor convert to Christianity. Both failed.

Instead of celebrating Valentine's day on the day itself... why not celebrate Lovers' day before or after?
At least that makes you look less like a fool about not knowing the meaning or the purpose of the celebration.
