The Valentine Party scheduled for today, Saturday February 12th at Sollentuna has been cancelled. According to Mr. Samson Mande, the Chairperson of the Network for Africans Unity, the organization behind the Party, the postponement has been precipitated by bad weather and breakdown in public transport system. According to Mr. Mande, a sustained snow-storm in the last two days has disrupted transport networks in Sweden and under the circumstances, it is no longer tenable to proceed with the Valentine Party. Mr. Mande told KSB that the Network’s leadership regrets any inconveniences that might be cause to those who were destined for the Party and promised that the Network will organize a new bash in the near future. He thanked members of the African community for their continued support of the Network’s activities.

Afrochik u are right.this network has lost its meaning with useless excuses for many failed parties.
Our Kenyan Church leaders and Priests should have spent a moment writing about what we should do on Valentine’s Day. Anyway this is the history of this day:
The real Valentine was a Roman Christian martyred during the third century A.D. by the Emperor Claudius II. Prior to his death, Valentine continued to minister in prison by witnessing to his prison guards. One of the guards was a good man who had adopted a blind girl. He asked Valentine if his God could help his daughter. Valentine prayed and the girl was given her sight. The guard and his whole family, 46 people, believed in Jesus and were baptized. When the Emperor heard about this he was furious that Valentine was still making converts even in prison, so he sentenced Valentine to death.
Just before being led out to his execution, the young Christian wrote a note to the jailer’s daughter, signing it, “From your Valentine.” The first valentine was really a Christian witness. Growing out of this story we participate in a custom of sending cards to people we love.
Given that the tradition of sending love notes grows out of a letter written by St. Valentine to his jailer’s daughter on the eve of Valentine’s execution, it’s ironic that the card we send has received the emphasis, instead of remembering the content of the original Valentine’s card: a message of unconditional devotion to Christ, even upon pain of death.
Over time the word “Saint” has been dropped from St. Valentine’s Day, further obscuring the origins of this holiday. Instead of a negative reaction to some of the pagan origins of the day, why not celebrate the true love that compelled young Valentine to give up his life?
Remember that the day we know as St. Valentine’s Day actually commemorates the death of an early Christian martyr, Valentine, who was put to death for refusing to renounce his faith in Christ.
Instead of chubby cherubs, sappy cards, too much candy, and soon-wilted flowers, why not point your family toward the true significance of St. Valentine’s Day this year?
By all means, celebrate the day, but re-inject it with Christian meaning by resolving to live for Jesus without fear or shame, following the godly example of Valentine’s unconditional love for Christ.
How can you celebrate St. Valentine’s Day in a way that honors the original Valentine, who was martyred for his devotion to God?
