Origin of Valentine's Day Every February 14, it is a traditional Western Valentine's Day (Valentine's Day), also known as "Valentine's Day ".
In the 3rd century, there was a tyrant in ancient Rome named cladeus ). Not far from the tyrant's palace, there is a very beautiful temple. Valentine)
I live here. The Romans admired him very much, both men and women, regardless of the rich and the poor, and always clustered around him, in front of the torch of the altar, listen to Valentine's prayers.
In ancient Rome, the war continued, and the tyrant krados recruited a large number of citizens to the battlefield, and people complained. Men do not want to leave their families, and young men cannot bear to be separated from their lover. He told people not to have a wedding, and even those who have already subscribed to the marriage will be terminated immediately. Many young people say goodbye to their lover and go to the battlefield with grief. Young girls are also depressed because they have lost their friends.
Valentine felt very sad about the actions of the tyrant. When a couple came to the temple to ask for help, Valentine quietly held a wedding for them in front of the holy altar. Many people came here to form a companion with the help of Valentine's.

The message was finally sent to the palace and to the ears of the tyrant. Again, he ordered the soldiers to rush into the temple and drag Valentine from a couple of new couples holding a wedding to the dungeon.

Historian prefer to give a deep dive, and their interpretation of Valentine's Day seems convincing. In fact, as early as 270 AD, when the city of Rome was just laid the foundation, it was still surrounded by wilderness and wolves wandering around in groups. Among the gods worshipped by the Romans, luperocus, the animal husbandry god, is in charge of the protection of the shepherd and the flock. Every year in mid-March February, the Romans will hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the festival of God of animal husbandry. At that time, the calendar was a little later than it is now, so the festival is actually a celebration of the coming spring.
Some people also say that this holiday is a celebration of faunus, which is similar to the ancient Greek pig, the angular pan on the head, in charge of animal husbandry and agriculture. The origins of the festival were too long, and even scholars in the first century of BC could not confirm it. But the importance of this holiday is unquestionable. For example, historical records, Anthony (mark
Antony) the crown was awarded to Caesar (Julius Caesar) at the day of the 4 BC.
In February 15 every year, the monks will gather next to a cave on the Palantine hill in the city of Rome, where romilus and
Remus) was raised by a female wolf. One of the celebrations of the festival was the young nobles who ran on the street with a goat whip. The young women will gather on both sides of the street and pray that the goat's whip will hit them. People believe that this will make them more likely to have children. In Latin, the goat's skin whip is called februa, And the whip is called fabruatio. In fact, they all contain 'chung. February is the name of February.
With the expansion of the Roman forces in Europe, the customs of the festival were brought to France, Britain and other places. One of the most enjoyable holiday activities is similar to touch the lottery. The names of the young women were placed in the box, and the young man stepped forward to extract them. A pair of men and women become lovers for a year or longer.
The rise of Christianity gradually made the customs of the gods indifferent. The priests did not want people to give up the joy of the festival, so they changed Lupercalia to Valentine's
Day. In this way, the legends of the Valentine's Monk and the ancient festivals are naturally combined. This festival was the most popular in medieval England. Once the names of unmarried men and women are drawn out, they exchange gifts to each other. This year, women become men's Valentine.
The man's sleeves are embroidered with the name of the woman. Taking care of and protecting the woman becomes the sacred duty of the man.
In the modern sense that can be viewed in history, Valentine's lover was in the early 15th century. The young French duke
Orleans was captured by British troops in the Battle of Agincourt and then kept in the Tower of London for many years. He wrote many love poems to his wife, about 60 of which were saved to date. About two hundred years later. Henry IV
Iv) A daughter held a big party on Valentine's Day. All ladies get a bunch of flowers from the men who selected her as Valentine.
In this way, we are able to send a message of love to our friends in February 14 every year, continuing the ancient customs of Italy, France, and Britain. Flowers, heart-shaped candy, with lace and ear-sashes to cover up the object's name, not only represents a sincere love, it is also the best memory for the wallentinshist who dares to resist the tyranny.
