The History of Valentine’s Day
Everyone knows Valentine’s Day nowadays, but do you know who is Valentine and why Valentine has a connection with love?
Legend One
In the 3rd century A.D., the Roman Emperor Claudius II announced the abolition of all marriage promises in Rome’s capital. At that time, this policy was to encourage young people to step onto the battlefield.
A priest named Sanctus Valentinus didn’t follow this law and continued to host weddings in the ancient church for the young people in love. After Roman Emperor knows that, Father Valentin was first whipped, then stoned, and finally put on the gallows and hanged on 14th February, 270 AD. After the 14th century, people began to commemorate this day.
This day is called Valentine’s Day to commemorate the priest who sacrificed for love.
Legend Two
It is said that Valentine was one of the earliest Christians, and being a Christian in that era meant danger and death. In order to cover the other martyrs, Valentine was caught and thrown into prison. There he healed the blind eyes of the warden’s daughter. When the tyrant heard this miracle, he felt terrified, so he beheaded Valentine.
According to the legend, on the morning of the execution, Valentine wrote an affectionate farewell letter to the warden’s daughter, signed: From your Valentine. That day, the blind girl planted a red-flowered apricot tree in front of his tomb to entrust her feelings. This day is on 14th February. Since then, Christianity has designated 14th February as Valentine’s Day.
Legend Three
In the United Kingdom, all birds will mate on 14th February, such as blackbirds and partridges, all mating in February. Therefore, human beings also believe that 14th February is the best day for the birth of all things in spring, representing the beginning of youthful life, and imitating birds to choose their partners on 14th February each year.
Interesting Tips on Valentine’s Day
Everyone should be careful when “Valentine’s Day” morning comes. You get up early in the morning, and you should snoop through the keyhole. According to legends, if the first person you see is walking alone, then you will be single; if you see two or more people walking together, then you will definitely find a lover that year; if you see it comes to a rooster and a hen, then you will get married before “Christmas”. But nowadays, there are very few roosters and hens in the courtyards of various houses, and there are no chickens in the urban open space, so if you can see a pair of pigeons or a pair of sparrows, it is also the same meaning.
