Isaiah 2:3
And many peoples will come and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths." For the law will go forth from Zion,
and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Isaiah 60:3
And Nations shall come to Your Light
and kings to the
Brightness of Your Rising
Valentine's Day
Also called: Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine
Observed for 1,527 years
February 14, 496 A.D.
Pope Gelasius I forbid the celebration of lewd Lupercalia and is attributed replacing it with St. Valentine's Day
The Book called Gelasian Sacramentary from the 700s
The Church calls this Tradition,
The Books have been studied for 1500 years.
The oldest book goes back to the 5th or 7th Century
relating to martyrs who were, Bishop Valentine.
The faithful call this History.
And the nay sayers, will say nay.
Someday,
we will see through the mirror
clearly.
Liber sacramentorum Romanae ecclesiae, "Book of Sacraments of the Church of Rome". An old tradition linked the book to Pope Gelasius I, apparently based on Walafrid Strabo's ascription of what is evidently this book to the 5th-century pope.
The sacramentary was compiled near Paris around 750, and it contains a mixture of Gallican and Roman elements. The dating of the liturgical contents are not based on characteristics of the surviving manuscript itself (ca 750): most of its liturgy reflects the mix of Roman and Gallican practice inherited from the Merovingian church.
In 785-6 the reforms of Pope Gregory I, Gregory the Great, were supplied to Charlemagne by Pope Hadrian I. An ascription to Gelasius gave an added authority to the contents, which are an important document of pre-Gregorian liturgy.
An order of Belgian monks spent three centuries collecting evidence for the lives of saints from manuscript archives around the known world.
They were called Bollandists after Jean Bolland, a Jesuit scholar who began publishing the massive 68-folio volumes of “Acta Sanctorum,” or “Lives of the Saints,” beginning in 1643.
It would be unlikely the whole story of Valentine is a fable.
These Churches are built with Roman Empire Bricks.
St Cedes is 600 AD. Saxon Time.
The Size of the Church tells us Christianity was established far earlier than we imagine.
The archway is all Roman Empire Bricks. The History of the Roman Empire's methods, history and Architecture is known.
Skip the Steeple in the photo.
This is Essex Way Greenstead Church, U.K.
This remarkable Church has something going on, not readily apparent.
This is the way Churches looked in England before 1,000 A.D. the invasion of Norman's William the Conqueror. In fact, the Churches used to be like this and have timber. This Church has timber in it, from mostly 1000 A.D., but going back to 600 A.D. This is two hundred years before Alfred the Great ---- who began to Record History.
Build during the Saxon Invasion, who loved to kill and plunder the gold and silver altar tools,
this was very brave indeed.
And... like the House Church in Thesseloniki
This is a House Church as described in the New Testament
Latomos Monastery - Church of Hosios David
Epimenidou 17, Thessaloniki 546 33, Greece
aspects of the Monastery go back to 500 A.D.
Christianity wasn't drummed up by people who didn't have any other choice. Instead, we find History of the amazing sweep of Changes. The List of Emperors who didn't bother Christians in the first 4 centuries A.D. and like Emperor Constantine's Uncle, sent Constantine to kill the great-great-great nephews of Jesus Christ if they didn't swear it was a fable. Eyewitness. Rome.
We find Histories the literate studied for 300 years. 5th Century Histories. 6th Century House Churches in England. The Acts of the Apostle style Churches. Churches you can visit and kneel in 1,400 years later.
When we give Hallmark Lovely Cards. We are Celebrating Overcoming.
St Paul Jarrow, is built by Gauls of 600 A.D.
Built these Churches to be interior Roman Empire Architecture.
Victory.
And they are not illiterate or unintelligent. These are sophisticated buildings using international cooperation. Knowing 700 year old architecture.
Victory of the Empire with so many deaths of Christians for on and off 340 years.
Victory of Jesus Christ.
Victory over Governments Collapse,
Borders Fail. Rape. Theft. War. Murder.
Deaths of Family Members.
Victory of Jesus Christ.
Yes, even during the Saxon blood thirsty invasion
The French crossed the Channel to Glory in God with the English.
International Christian Joy during bloody times.
And interested in staying during warfare
to build more than one Church.
St. Peter Monkwearmouth and St Paul Jarrow
are both built by Gauls
and using Roman Empire Bricks
and in Roman Empire Architecture.
600 and 700 A.D.
How bad were the battles of 600 A.D.
We can find Trench warfare built by Alfred the Great.
Abba, Father,
God Bless us
to be Good
to be Righteous
to be merciful
to be Victorious over evil in all forms,
Pray in Jesus Christ!
Amen.
