Legend one,
Legend has it that in Rome in the third century AD, the tyrant Claudius came to power. At that time, there were frequent internal and external wars in ancient Rome. In order to replenish soldiers, the tyrant ordered all men who reached a certain age to join the army and serve the country. From then on, the husband left his wife, the teenager left his lover, and the whole of Rome was shrouded in a long acacia. The tyrant was furious at this, forbidding China people to hold weddings, and even asking those who had already married to break their contracts.
However, love cannot be forbidden. Not far from the tyrant's palace, there is a very beautiful temple, where a respected monk Valentine lives. He couldn't bear to see a couple in Where Are You Going, so he secretly married them. For a time, this exciting news spread all over the country, and more couples secretly came to the monks for help.
However, it was soon known by the tyrant, so he flew into a rage and put Valentine in prison. On February 14, 270 AD, Valentine died of torture. In order to commemorate this brave man who dared to fight the tyrant, people later designated this day as "St. Valentine's Day", which gradually evolved into Valentine's Day.
Legend 2,
Valentine's Day can be traced back to the early Roman religious festival Faun Festival (15 February). At that time, there was a custom that every girl's name would be written on a small piece of paper in the activities held on the eve of the Pastoral Festival (14 February night), and every young man would draw lots from the box, and the person who was drawn would become his lover. But later, the religious believers of the Roman emperor, coupled with the continuous war, prohibited soldiers from getting married, which forced all lovers to separate. However, love cannot be forbidden. Valentine, a religious figure, defied the emperor's ban and secretly married unmarried men and women, so he was arrested, imprisoned and beheaded in February 14.
Many years later, Rome became a religious country, and many religious people who died for their beliefs became respected saints. In order to commemorate the martyr Saint Valentine, February 14 was designated as Valentine's Day instead of Faun Festival, which gradually evolved into February 14 in the west to send cards or gifts to relatives.
Legend three,
There is also a saying that St. Valentine, a young religious missionary in ancient Rome, ventured to spread religious teachings, was arrested and imprisoned, and moved the old jailer and his blind daughter, who took good care of them. Before he was executed, Saint Valentine wrote a letter to the girl, expressing his deep affection for her. On the day of his burial, the blind girl planted an apricot tree with red flowers in front of his grave to express her feelings. This day is 14 February. Since then, religion has designated February 14 as "Valentine's Day".
Legend four,
In ancient Rome, February 14 was originally a festival to express respect for Jonah, the queen of Roman gods, and Jonah was also regarded as the god of women and marriage. The following February 15 was called "Lupsala Festival" to show respect for other gods under Jonah.
In ancient Rome, the lives of boys 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, so that they can dance with the girl they choose 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. Later generations gradually merged the festivals of February 14 every year. Valentine's Day is not only the best time to express love, but also the best time to propose to the one you love.

The customs of celebrating Valentine's Day are different in different times. Among them, from 1837- 190 1, Queen Victoria of England has the most unique Valentine's Day custom: 14 February, a couple transplanted a spring branch with two budding flowers into a special flowerpot.
The initials of the flower name must be the same as the initials of the couple's name.
A few days later, if the double buds on this spring branch are in full bloom and complement each other, it indicates that lovers will grow old together; If the double buds are divided into the west and the north, love and people will eventually fly away; If the flowers are huge and brilliant, it means that the future children and grandchildren will be full and the family will be happy; If a flower withers, one of the lovers is in danger of dying young.
In Buckinghamshire, there is also a popular custom of praying on Valentine's Eve: light a candle, insert two thin needles, insert your lover's name from the bottom of the candle into the center of the candle, and pray for love all the time. When the candle burns to the tip of the needle, it is said that the loved one will knock on the door in time.
There is also a custom of Valentine's Day: in the week before Valentine's Day, for seven consecutive nights, I took off my left sock and put it on my right foot, repeatedly wishing: "May my beloved fall asleep tonight."
It is said that at this time, under the old moon, a bright red silk thread will be left. And take off your socks and pray for love around your neck.
After the Victorian era, the custom of Valentine's Day gradually faded. In 1930s and 1940s, with the popularity of greeting cards, Valentine's Day revived.
In some countries, Valentine's Day has evolved into a trend for men in love to express their friendship to women, so on March 14, it became a "plot of returning love", that is, men gave gifts to women to show "returning love".
