Church to postpone Val’s Day because it falls on Ash Wednesday

January 31,2018
Share:
By Rita Chioma,
Many have been wondering how to combine Valentine’s day and Ash Wednesday which coincidentally fell on same date, this year, February 14th, 2018.
Well, parishioners have been asked to postpone their Valentine’s Day celebration by the Catholic diocese of Birmingham in Alabama, US, because it falls on Ash Wednesday.
The parishioners were given the option of celebrating Valentine’s a day prior on February 13.
Robert J Baker, head of the Catholic diocese of Birmingham, made this known in a letter addressed to the church members.
In the letter, he stated the importance of Ash Wednesday and the reason why a dispensation from standard laws of fast and abstinence would not be granted. He wrote: “For the first time since 1945, Valentine’s day falls this year on Ash Wednesday.
Some have wondered whether a dispensation from the standard laws of fast and abstinence would be granted. Out of respect for importance of Ash Wednesday in the lives of so many- including our non-Catholic brethren- and the way this underlines the importance of Lenten season at its outset, a dispensation will not be given.
Those who wish to celebrate Valentine’s day may fittingly do so the day before (Mardi Gras) or on another potential day. The good Lord, who suffered so much out of love for us, will surely reward our fidelity and sacrifice.”
