Saint
Valentine
July 6th
Troparion (Tone 4)
Thou hast become like the Apostles in their
states, a successor to their throne, finding indeed the
intelligential ladder, O thou God-inspired. Therefore, thou hast
followed the Word of God in righteousness, and striven unto blood
for the Faith. O Martyr among Priests, Saint Valentine, intercede
with Christ God to save our souls.
Valentine was martyred in Rome in the year 269 under Emperor Claudius Flavius. He had been put under the charge of General Asterius, who was supposed to persuade him to deny Christ. Instead, St. Valentine healed the general's daughter from the blindness that had afflicted her for two years. He then baptised Asterius and his whole household. The Emperor in his foolish rage had them all tortured and killed. Christ welcomed them home into his Heavenly Kingdom.
