origin
Statement 1: In the 3rd century A.D., Emperor Claudius II of the Roman Empire renounced all marriage promises in the capital Rome. It was for the sake of war, so that more carefree men could go to war. A priest named Saint Ketus Valentinus did not follow this will and continued to hold church weddings for young people who loved each other. After this incident was reported, Father Valentin was first flogged, then stoned to death, and finally hanged on February 14, AD 270. 14 century later, people began to commemorate this day. Now the Chinese translation of "Valentine's Day" is called Valentine's Day in western countries to commemorate the priest who died for his lover. Statement 2: It is said that Valentine was one of the earliest Christians. Being a Christian at that time meant danger and death. In order to cover other martyrs, Valentane was taken to prison. There, he cured the blind eye of the warden's daughter. When the tyrant heard a miracle, he was so frightened that he beheaded Valentane. According to legend, on the morning of the execution, Valentane wrote an affectionate farewell letter to the warden's daughter, which was signed: From your lover. On the same day, the blind girl planted an apricot tree full of red flowers in front of his grave to show her mind. This day is 14 February. Since then, Christianity has designated February 14 as Valentine's Day. Statement 3: 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 was called "Lupsala Festival" to show respect for other gods in Jonah [3]. 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. For this reason, future generations designated February 14 every year as Valentine's Day. Statement 4: The term Lupercalia Festival originated in ancient Rome, which means that the Christian church celebrates this day to Christianize the Roman Lupercalia Festival (celebrated on February 15 every year to protect the productivity of people, fields and livestock). Among the gods worshipped by the Romans, Lubbocus was in charge of the protection of shepherds and sheep. Every year in mid-February, the Romans hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the festival of faun. Compared with now, the calendar at that time was a little later, so the festival of faun was actually a celebration of the coming spring. Some people also say that this festival is to celebrate and bless Nuss, similar to the sheep's feet in ancient Greece and the horned pan in charge of animal husbandry and agriculture. With the expansion of Roman power in Europe, the custom of faun festival was brought to France and Britain. One of people's favorite holiday activities is similar to lottery. The young women's names are put in the box, and then the young men come forward to smoke. A pair of drawn men and women become lovers for one year or more. The rise of Christianity makes people's custom of commemorating gods gradually indifferent. The priests didn't want people to give up the joy of this festival, so they changed the festival of faun to Valentine's Day and moved it to February 14. In this way, the legend about the Valentine brothers and the ancient festivals are naturally combined. This festival was the most popular in medieval England. After the names of unmarried men and women are drawn, they will exchange gifts with each other, and women will become lovers of men within this year. A woman's name will be embroidered on a man's sleeve, so it is his sacred duty to take care of and protect women. The origin of the name of Valentine's Day is stated in Brewer's Dictionary of Proverbs and Fables: "Valentinus was a Roman priest who was imprisoned for helping persecuted Christians. He later converted to Christianity ... and was finally beaten to death, and died on February 14 ... "The relationship between the ancient custom of celebrating Valentine's Day and valentina is purely coincidental. In fact, this festival is probably related to the faun festival in ancient Rome or the mating season of birds. Valentine's Day is characterized by lovers giving gifts to each other. Today, people like to express their feelings with Valentine's Day cards. Valentine's day cards are usually painted with Cupid, a heart shot by an arrow and so on. Valentine's Day legend has it that St. Valentine, a young Christian missionary in ancient Rome, ventured to spread Christianity, was arrested and imprisoned, touched the old jailer and his blind daughter, and was taken good care of by them. 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 gifts.
On Valentine's Day, give a red rose 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.
