Strange Valentine's Day practices around the world

With reference to Valentine's Day, the easiest thing to think about is romantic roses, chocolates and candlelight dinners for couples.

But you know what? Valentine's Day practices and paintings in many parts of the world are strange, even a little weird, quite different than we thought.

Italy: Today's Valentine's Day is full of romance while the history of this festival is full of war and death.

The most famous legend about Valentine's Day was that, in the third century A.D., the Roman Emperor, out of war's considerations, announced the abolition of the marriage commitment by bringing more men to war with no one else.

A priest named St.

Valentine continues, in private, to marry young people in love.

Following his release, Father Valentin was sentenced to death by the Roman Emperor and hanged on 14 February 270 A.D.

After the 14th century, the day began to be commemorated.

The Chinese translation is Valentine's Day, known in Western countries, to honour the priest who died for the couple.

In Italy, on the day of 14 February, many people went to the Church of the Holy Virgin in Rome, Basilica di Santa Maria in Cosmedin, to look after the remains of Saint Valentine, the legendary father of Valentine's Day, where Saint Valentine's skull was contained with a crown.

Many couples light candles and pray for love together.

England: The terror heart shape cake The London Dungeon is the world's most gruesome tourist destination, where the dark and sad side of medieval London's history is truly recreated, with many horrific scenes and images.

Imagine what a valentine cake like this is.

I'm sure it's terrible.

The usual valentine cake is the kind of heart that we know, and the cake in the London dungeon is also heart-shaped, but the heart shape is so real! Isn't it true that it takes a lot of courage to eat this kind of love? Germany: A large piece of ginger-heart cookiepis a big ginger-bread for a couple, usually with a sweet word like "love you" on the cookie.

Denmark: A handwritten love note to celebrate Valentine's Day in Denmark is an interesting game called "Speculation of Mysterious Worship".

The game is like this, if you fall in love or like someone, give him/her a handwritten note expressing love without a signature.

If a person who receives a note guesses who sent it, his or her prize is to get an egg at Easter.

It's a game for the office or a small group.
