Why do some people not celebrate Valentine's Day?

Answer 1

MY VIEW The reasons may vary between individuals, but for me, it's a religious issue. The question of the origion of Valentine's Day is answered differently, depending on who you ask, but according to the World Book Encyclopedia, "the customs connected with the day . . . probably come from an ancient Roman festival called Lupercalia which took place every February 15. The festival honored Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage, and Pan, the god of nature."-(1973), Vol. 20, p. 204. Therefore, because of the holiday's customs that are rooted in pagan religion, I do not celebrate Valentine's Day. For me, sharing in anything pagan would amount to compromising my allegience to God.

Answer 2

Because they think it is a holiday for celebrating the devil.

Halloween or to give it its correct name All Hallows Eve was a Pagan celebration which the Christian Churches originally felt was against their faith. Many churches don't protest the modern version which is just about kids and candy, but others still do.

Answer 3

Some people don't like Valentines because they have no love or anything, so they are haters.

Answer:

Valentine's Day and its observance is not a universal human activity. Some people therefore don't even know of it and would be puzzled by it. Others see the commercialization of holidays to be unpleasant and would dislike the event for this reason. Others would think that the sentiments surrounding the day to be something that should be celebrated everyday, not just one day a year. They might dislike Valentine's day because it is too limiting.

Some people dislike it because they have to watch other people get flowers and gifts all day plus see lots of public displays of affection, and it seems kind of fake with all the plastic flowers and pastel colors, and everyone wearing pink.
