The Origin of Purple Valentine's Day August 26th is Purple Valentine's Day.
Version 1: Valentine's Day is the English name of Valentine's Day. Literally, it is difficult to see the connection between Chinese and western appellations. There is a touching story hidden in it.
Around the third century AD in Rome, Caesar had been dead for almost 300 years, and the tyrant Claudius was still in power. At that time, there were frequent wars inside and outside Rome, and the people were in dire straits. In order to replenish men and carry the war to the end, Claudius ordered all men who reached a certain age to join the Roman army and serve the country with their lives. From then on, the husband left his wife and the teenager left his lover. So the whole of Rome was shrouded in a long acacia. The tyrant was very angry at this. In order to achieve his own goal, he even ordered that China people be forbidden to hold wedding ceremonies, and even asked married people to break their contracts.
However, tyranny cannot forbid love. In the tyrant's country, there lived a respected monk, Valentine, our hero. He couldn't bear to see such a couple in Where Are You Going, so he secretly presided over God's wedding for the couple who came to ask for help. For a time, this exciting news spread all over the country, and more couples secretly came to the monks for help.
However, it was soon known by the tyrant, so he once again showed his cruel face-put the monk in prison and eventually tortured to death. The date of the monk's death was February 14, and February 14, 270.
In order to commemorate this man who dared to fight the tyrant, people gradually took February 14 as a festival. Many centuries have passed, and people can't remember Claudius' name, his scepter and sword, but they will still remember the Valentine brothers, because it was Valentine's Day, not Valentine's Day.
Version 2: In ancient Rome, February 14 was a festival to show respect for Jonah. Jonah was the queen of the Roman gods, and the Romans regarded her as the goddess of women and marriage. The following February 15 is called Lupsala Festival to show respect for other gods under the rule of Jonah.
In ancient Rome, the lives of young people and girls were strictly separated. However, on Lupsala Festival, boys can choose the name of a girl they love and carve it on a vase. In this way, during the festival, young people can dance with the girl of their choice to celebrate the festival. If the selected girls are interested in boys, they can always pair up and eventually they will fall in love and get married in church. Therefore, later generations designated February 14 as Valentine's Day.
Third Edition: An English dictionary notes that Valentine's Day is February 14, which originated from the faun festival in ancient Rome. It is said that birds begin to mate on this day. It was the custom at that time: during the Animal Husbandry Festival, every young man drew lots from a box with a note with the name of a young woman written on it. The person drawn will become the sweetheart of young people. Later, the festival was changed to commemorate a Christian saint named Valentine.
St. Valentine, a young Christian missionary in ancient Rome, ventured to spread Christianity and was arrested and imprisoned, which touched the old jailer and his blind daughter and took good care of him. Before he was executed, Saint Valentine wrote a letter to the girl, expressing his deep affection for her. On the day when he was executed, the blind girl planted an apricot tree with red flowers in front of his grave to express her feelings. This day is 14 February. Now, on Valentine's Day, many young men also make postcards of courting St. Valentine into exquisite handicrafts and cut them into butterflies and flowers to show their sincerity and determination. Girls put laurel leaves on pillows at night, hoping to dream about their lovers. Usually on Valentine's Day, a red rose is given to express the feelings between lovers. A half-opened red rose is the best gift for a girl on Valentine's Day, and the girl takes a box of heart-shaped chocolates as a gift.
It is said that phenylethylamine, one of the ingredients of chocolate, can cause hormonal changes in the human body, similar to the feeling in love.
If Tanabata is before the heat, it will be Purple Valentine's Day.
