The origin of valentine's day
Valentine's Day is a holiday for friends, family and lovers. Just as people in China now spend Christmas with almost fanatical enthusiasm, Valentine's Day has quietly penetrated into the minds of countless young people and become another important festival besides the traditional festivals in China. Most people may not know the origin and significance of Valentine's Day. The following is just one of many legends about Valentine's Day. Detailed:
There are as many lovers in the world as there are many explanations about the origin of Valentine's Day. In the third century AD, there was a tyrant in ancient Rome named Claudius. Not far from the tyrant's palace, there is a very beautiful temple. Brother Valentine lives here. The Romans respected him very much. Men, women and children, rich and poor, high and low, always gathered around him, listening to Valentane praying in front of the blazing flames of the altar. The war in ancient Rome has been continuous, and the tyrant Claudius recruited a large number of citizens to go to the battlefield, and the people complained. Men don't want to leave home, and boys can't bear to be separated from their lovers. Claudius flew into a rage. He ordered people not to hold weddings, and even all those who were engaged should break off their engagement. Many young people bid farewell to their lovers and went to the battlefield in grief and indignation. Young girls are also depressed because of the loss of their loved ones. Valentane was very sad about the tyrant's abuse. When a couple came to the temple and asked for his help, valentini quietly married them in front of the sacred altar. People spread the news, and many people came here and formed partners with the help of Valentane. The news finally reached the palace and the tyrant. Claudius flew into a rage again He ordered soldiers to rush into the temple, drag Valentane away from a married couple and put him in a dungeon. People begged for the tyrant's immunity, but in vain. Valentane was finally tortured to death in the dungeon. Sad friends buried him in St. Prex Church. It was 14 in February, and that year was 270 AD. The other version doesn't seem as exciting as this one. Legend has it that Valentane 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, signed: FromyourValentine (from your Valentane). Historians are more willing to get to the bottom of it, and their interpretation of Valentine's Day seems convincing. In fact, as early as AD 270, when Rome laid the foundation stone, there was still a wilderness around, and wolves wandered around in droves. 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 the god Yunus, who is similar to the ancient Greek god Pan, with sheep feet and horns on his head and is in charge of animal husbandry and agriculture. The origin of faun festival is so long that even scholars in the first century BC could not prove it. But the importance of this festival is beyond doubt. For example, according to historical records, Ma cantoni awarded the crown to Julies Casal at the Faun Festival in 44 BC. On February 15 every year, monks gather in a cave on Palantine Mountain in Rome. It is said that Romilu Sandmus, the founder of ancient Rome, was raised here by a female wolf. In the festival celebration, there was a young aristocrat running in the street with a sheepskin whip in his hand. Young women will gather on both sides of the street, hoping that the sheepskin whip will hit them on the head. People think it will make it easier for them to have children. In Latin, sheepskin whip is called februa and whipping is called fabruatio, both of which actually mean' purity'. This is the origin of the name February.
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. Valentane's lover in the modern sense was recorded in/kloc-0 at the beginning of the 5th century. The young French Duke was captured by the British in the Battle of Ginkul, and then imprisoned in the Tower of London for many years. He wrote many love poems to his wife, about 60 of which have been preserved to this day. About 200 years later, flowers appeared as a symbol of festivals in Valentane. A daughter of French King Henry IV held a grand party in Valentane Festival. All the ladies got a bunch of flowers from the man who chose her as his lover. In this way, continuing the ancient customs of Italy, France and Britain, we can send love messages to our friends on February 14 every year. Flowers, heart-shaped candy, and souvenirs that cover the sender's name with lace and broken ears not only represent sincere love, but also represent the best commemoration of the Valentine brothers who dared to resist tyranny.
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.
In the west, Valentine's Day is not only the best time to express love, but also the best time to propose to the one you love. In this regard, Valentine's Day embodies the original intention of the ancient Romans to design this festival.
