Statement 1:
Valentine's Day may have originated from the faun festival in ancient Rome. In ancient Rome, February 14 was a festival to pay tribute to Jonah. Jonah is the queen of the Roman gods, and the Romans regard her as the goddess of women and marriage at the same time. 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.
Statement 2:
Legend has it that one day in the 3rd century BC, a young man named Valentine was caught by officers and men to help a group of persecuted poor people. During the trial, I was miraculously attracted by the warden's daughter, a beautiful girl with insomnia in her eyes. The magic of love made Varadin temporarily forget the cruel reality of pain and imprisonment. Perhaps the sincere and persistent love between Varadin and the blind girl was seen by the merciful God and moved with compassion, so that Varadin, who had little knowledge of medicine, discovered a herb that could cure the blind girl's eyes while walking in prison. In order to cure the blind girl's eyes, Varadin endured the pain of being tortured by cruel soldiers every day and insisted on cooking suffering herbs for the blind girl every day. But as the days passed, the blind girl's eyes were still not seen, and Varadin was sentenced to death.
In the 3rd century BC 14 February, Varadin was finally put on the execution ground. He knows that his life is coming to an end, and he has no regrets about giving his young life to those who suffer all over the world, but his beloved girl's eyes have not yet seen the light, and he is unwilling. Varadin knelt on his knees and put his hands together to pray to God that if his beloved girl can see the light again on this day, he will die without regret.
The miracle really happened at the moment he prayed. The girl he loved rushed at him with sad tears. Her eyes returned to sight, and Varadin was ecstatic. The beautiful girl looked at Varadin with tears in her eyes, scarred and covered in blood. This is the first and last time that she looks at the man she loves like this. They hugged each other tightly, and no one wanted to be apart. Even if the front is a sea of knives and mountains, they will hug each other tightly and cross together. However, the cruel soldiers dragged away the two beloved people.
Varadin left his beloved girl forever on this day, and soon, the girl died of depression. Later, in order to commemorate Varadin and let future generations remember such a sobbing love story forever, the church designated this day, that is, February 14 every year, as Valentine's Day.
Statement 3:
An English dictionary points out 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. . 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.
Ross's statement:
In Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, ran among the roses looking for her lover adonis. The rose pierced her hands and legs, and blood dripped on the petals of the rose. The white rose turned red from now on, and the red rose became a symbol of faithful love.
