No one On this forum, should be wishing others a happy Valentine’s Day. Unless he is Not a Christian.

Why? Because you are robbing God of His glory. Only God does miracles. He did miracles through Peter and Paul in the book of Acts. And he also did miracles through Saint Valentine. The secular world wants to take God out of the picture. We should wish others a happy SAINT Valentine’s Day, To honor the mighty work God did through this Saint.

Saint of the Day

St. Valentine (3rd century)
Valentine was a priest in Rome and a physician. He was imprisoned for giving aid to martyrs. While there, he converted the prison guard by restoring his daughter’s sight. He was beaten and beheaded in 269

Odd, we often wish each other a Happy feast of - insert name of Saint -, why ought we leave St. Valentine out of it?

I think the OP means we should be saying ‘SAINT’ Valentine’s’ Day not just Valentine’s Day.

It’s quite rude to say that someone who has made a valid point is “hung up” on it.
 
Semantics are hardly valid points. It’s one word and OP is accusing those who don’t say “Saint” first as robbing God of His glory, a rather extreme accusation.
 
I think it is a good thing to be reminded of how important it is to keep these things in the public mind. It’s part of the same battle for other terms like Christmas.
 
I am new to Catholicism and have always celebrated Valentines Day without knowing about Saint Valentine. The twist of trying to take my past joy in celebrating love thru a Valentine greeting and/or a card, without acknowledging Saint Valentine is rigid thinking that will drive the love and saving grace out of the sinful man…lighten up.
 
We congratulate people on the feast of their saints here in Spain. I see no harm in it, on the contrary, it helps remember the saint of the day.

Would it be rude to point out that according to the Roman Calendar it ISN’T St. Valentine’s Day actually, but the Feast of Ss. Cyril and Methodius? St. Valentine was removed from the Roman Calendar in 1969.

Today is still St. Valentine’s Day in the Extraordinary Form. Which, I presume, is why St. Valentine’s Church in Pittsburgh is celebrating their patron this evening with an EF Mass.
 
No it would not be rude but as the post above points out it would not be accurate either

I’m personally much more excited for St Fourth of July, because barbeque beats candy hearts on any day of the week.
 
Maybe a little off-topic, but the martyrology at Prime yesterday mentioned two St. Valentines. One died 268 AD and the other 273 AD, both Italian.
I had never noticed that before, and thought it was interesting 🙂
