Valentine's Day (#039;s Day)

Valentine's Day, also known as Saint Valentine's Day, is one of the traditional festivals in the West on 14 February each year.

On this day, lovers send chocolate, cards and flowers to express love or friendship.

The festival was originally dedicated to the memory of two persons who were also martyrs of the early Church of Christ known as Valentine.

Origin: In the third century A.D., the Roman emperor, Claudious II, declared in Rome the abandonment of all marriage commitments in the capital city, when the considerations of war made it possible for more men who had nothing to do with them to enter the land of war.

A priest named Sanctus Valentinus did not comply with this intent to continue his church wedding for young people in love.

Following his release, Father Valentin was flogged, then stoned and then hanged on the day of 14 February A.D.

270.

The day began to be commemorated after the fourteenth century.

Now, this day, which Chinese translates to Valentine's Day, is known in Western countries as Valentine's Day, in honour of the priest who sacrificed his life for his lover.

Comment 2: Valentin is said to be one of the earliest Christians, and being a Christian at that time means danger and death.

To cover up the other martyrs, Varodin was captured and put in jail.

There he cured the blind eye of the warden ' s daughter.

When the tyrant heard a miracle, he was very afraid and decapitated.

It is said that, on the morning of the execution, Varodin wrote a loving farewell letter to the warden's daughter, leaving: From your Valentine (from Valentin).

On the same day, blind women planted an almond tree in front of his grave to take their thoughts into account, the day of February 14.

Since then, Christianity has designated 14 February as Valentine's Day.

Statement III: In ancient Rome, 14 February was a holiday to show respect for Yona.

Yona is the queen of the Roman gods, who at the same time worship women and the god of marriage.

The following 15 February, known as the Lupasala Festival, was used to honour other gods under Yona's rule.

In ancient Rome, the lives of young people and young girls are strictly separated.

However, on Lupasala Day, the boys can choose the name of a girl they love and carve it on a vase.

This way, during the holidays, young men can dance with girls of their choice and celebrate the holidays.

If the chosen girls are also interested in young men, they can always match and eventually fall in love and get married together in church.

For this reason, 14 February of each year is designated Valentine's Day.

Statement IV: From ancient Rome, Lupercalia Festival, the Christian Church celebrates this day to celebrate ancient Rome's Pastoral DayChristianization.

Among the gods that the Romans worship, Lupercus is in charge of the protection of shepherds and herds.

Every mid-February, Romans celebrate the festival with a big ceremony.

The calendar was a little later than it is now, so the festival is actually a celebration of the coming spring.

It was also said that the festival was a celebration of Faunus, similar to the foot of ancient Greeks, the Pan with horns, in charge of livestock and agriculture.

With the expansion of Roman forces in Europe, the practice of pastoralism has been brought to the present places of France and England.

One of the most enjoyable festivals is like charades.

The names of the young women were placed in the box and the young men were drawn.

A couple of them became lovers for one year or more.

The rise of Christianity has led to a gradual apathy of the practice of remembrance of the gods.

The priests did not want people to give up their festival, so Lupercalia was converted to Valentine's Day and moved to February 14.

Thus, the legends of the priests and the ancient festivals were naturally combined.

This festival is most popular in the Middle Ages of Britain.

When the names of unmarried men and women are drawn out, they exchange gifts with each other and women become Valentine for men during the year.

The woman ' s name is embroidered on the man ' s sleeve, and it is the man ' s sacred duty to care for and protect her.

"St.

Valentine's Day's name comes from the Brewer's Story and Fables Dictionary, and says, "St.

Valentine is a Roman priest who is held captive by his aid to a oppressed Christian.

He was later converted to Christianity ...

and was eventually killed with a stick on 14 February ...” The ancient custom of celebrating Valentine's Day was a coincidence with Valentina.

In fact, the festival is likely to be associated with the ancient Roman pastoral festival or the season of bird mating.

Valentine's Day is characterized by mutual gifts from couples.

To this day, people like to express themselves as lover cards.

The lover card usually has Cupid, the heart of the arrow, etc.” The legend of Valentine's Day is that an ancient Roman young Christian preacher, St.

Valentine, risked spreading Christianism, was arrested and imprisoned, moved old prison guards and his blind daughter and received their care.

Before his death, St.

Valentine wrote a letter to the girl, demonstrating his deep feelings for her.

On the day he was executed, the blind girl planted an almond tree in front of his grave, with red flowers, in order to hold on to her love.

This day is 14 February.

Now, on Valentine's Day, many young men are also making the love-loving postcards of St.

Valentine into fine crafts, cut them into butterflies and flowers to show their sincerity.

At night, the girls put their leaves on their pillows, hoping to dream about their lovers.

Usually on Human Day

, a red rose is given to express the feelings of lovers.

A half-open red rose as the best gift to a girl for Valentine's DayAnd the girl used a box of heart-shaped chocolate as a return gift.

With regard to the relationship between Quibitt and Valentine's Day, the above-mentioned dictionary says: “Cuibitt, the Roman God of Love, the Greek God of Love, Eros.

He is usually represented by a cute little boy, with two wings for the back minister, blindfolded and with bows and arrows.” The Encyclopedia of World Books provides further information on the origins of Valentine's Day, which is in fact a mixed story.

The Encyclopedia states: “It is said that during the 200 A.D., Roman Emperor Claude II prohibited young men from marrying.

He believed that unmarried men could be better soldiers.

A priest named Valentine broke the emperor's orders and secretly married a young man.

There are rumours that Valentine was executed on 14 February 269 A.D.

According to the Catholic Encyclopaedia, in 496 A.D., Pope St.

Gilasius I abolished the Episcopal Festival at the end of the fifth century A.D.

and designated 14 February Saint Valentine's Day.” The festival is now taking place in the shape of “St.

Valentine's Day” — that is, Valentine's Day.

The day began to be commemorated after the fourteenth century.

This day, now Chinese translated as Valentine's Day, in English, to commemorate him.

Whatever the true origin of Valentine's Day, this practice is rooted in ancient beliefs and is named after the “Sage” of the Christian nation。
