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.
There is also a sad legend about the origin of Valentine's Day. Around the third century AD in Rome, the tyrant Claudius came to power. At that time, the country was at war. In order to make up for soldiers, all men who reach a certain age must join the Roman army and serve the country with their lives. A husband leaves his wife and a young man leaves his lover. He even banned China people from holding weddings and asked those who were already married to break their engagement.
In the capital, there lived a venerable monk named Valentine. He couldn't bear to see such a couple in Where are you going? So he secretly married couples who came to ask for help. When the tyrant learned about this, he once again showed his true colors-he put the monk in prison and eventually tortured him to death. The day the friar died was February 270 AD 14.
