Catholic Art Holy Card | Saint Valentine of Rome 招待状

Catholic Art Holy Card | Saint Valentine of Rome Traditional Catholic Sacred Art Saint Portrait Holy Card—Saint Valentine of Rome | Priest and Martyr ✝✝✝ Honour the witness of sacrificial love with this 5×7 sacred art greeting card featuring Saint Valentine of Rome, the third-century priest martyred under Emperor Claudius II around 269, who bore witness to Christ through his faithfulness unto death. Venerated continuously since the fourth century, his ancient cult as a healing saint predates the medieval romantic drift by a millennium—and the modern commercial holiday, which erased the saint entirely, by sixteen centuries. Rendered in reverent and timeless style, Valentine is depicted in simple cream tunic before a sacred altarpiece, with the red martyr's halo—one who witnessed to Christ not through romantic affection but through agape, the self-giving love that lays down its life. ✝✝✝ This card is ideal for those who wish to honour the martyr and the true meaning of agape on February 14—not the commercial spectacle, but the witness of a priest who died for Christ. ✝✝✝ The reverse features John 15:13 (RSV2CE)—the Scripture that embodies the greater love he witnessed to: "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." ✝✝✝ Recommended Format Size: 5″ × 7″ Paper: Signature Matte or Double-Thick Eggshell Print: High-Definition ✝✝✝ At Faith and Verse, we offer sacred art rooted in Christian tradition—without modern clutter, slogans, or artificial gloss. Each piece is created in reverence, grounded in history, silence, and devotion. ✝✝✝ Learn more about Saint Valentine and watch our Scripture and Prayer in His Honour: https://www.faithandverse.art/witnesses/saint-valentine ✝✝✝ Glory to God in the highest!
