2. 14 How did Valentine's Day come from abroad?
Valentine's Day, also known as Saint Valentine's Day. Originated in ancient Rome, it is held every February 14, and now it has become a favorite festival for young people in Europe and America. There are different opinions about the origin of the name "Saint Valentine's Day". Some people say this is to commemorate the Christian martyr Valentine. He was arrested and imprisoned for resisting the persecution of Christians by Roman rulers, and was sentenced to death on February 14, AD 270. Before the execution, Valentine wrote a letter to the warden's daughter, showing his open heart and feelings for her. Since then, Christianity has designated February 14 as "Valentine's Day".
China people now spend Christmas with almost fanatical enthusiasm, and Valentine's Day has quietly penetrated into the minds of countless young people, becoming another important festival besides the traditional festivals in China. Most people may not know the origin and significance of Valentine's Day. The following is just one of many legends about Valentine's Day.
In ancient Rome, February 14 was a festival to pay tribute to Jonah. Jonah was the queen of the Roman gods, and the Romans regarded her as the goddess of women and marriage. The following February 15 is called Lupsala Festival to show respect for other gods under the rule of Jonah.
In ancient Rome, the lives of young people 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. In this way, during the festival, young people can dance with the girl of their choice 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. Therefore, later generations designated February 14 as Valentine's Day.
In the west, Valentine's Day is not only the best time to express love, but also the best time to propose to the one you love. In this regard, Valentine's Day embodies the original intention of the ancient Romans to design this festival.

The origin of valentine's day
The origin of Valentine's Day:
Legend has it that in the third century AD, there was a tyrant in ancient Rome named Claudius. Not far from the tyrant's palace, there is a very beautiful temple. Brother Valentine lives here. The Romans respected him very much. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor, high and low, always gathered around him, listening to Valentine's prayers in front of the blazing flames of the altar.
In this era, the wars in ancient Rome have been continuous, and the tyrant Claudius recruited a large number of citizens to go to the battlefield. In order to ensure people's loyalty to the war, he ordered that people should not get married at this time, and even those who were engaged should break off their engagement. In this way, many young people bid farewell to their lovers and went to the battlefield with indignation.
Valentine was very sad about Claudius' abuse. When a couple came to the temple to ask for his help, Valentine quietly married them in front of the sacred altar. People spread, and many people came here to form partners with Valentine's help. The news finally reached Claudius. He flew into a rage and ordered the soldiers to rush into the temple, dragging Valentine away from a couple who were having a wedding and throwing him into the dungeon. On February 14, 270 AD, Valentine was tortured to death in the dungeon. Sad friends buried him in St. Pula's church.
In memory of Valentine, people later regarded this day as "Valentine's Day".

When Claudius, the tyrant of the Roman Empire, was in power, wars continued. All young men will be forced to go to war, leaving only the old, the sick and the young women. Therefore, ordinary people in ancient Rome held weddings in accordance with local customs before young men and women were minors or almost adults. This angered the tyrant Claudius, who ordered that the traditional wedding recognized by the ancient Romans should not be held for generations and that the engagement should be dissolved. The ancient Roman people had to submit to humiliation and dare to speak out.
In a quiet and beautiful town in ancient Rome, there was a kind and devout Christian saint named Saint Valentine. He is a priest in a small church. He felt very sad and sad that the tyrant Claudius had destroyed the people. Regardless of his personal safety, he still married a young man and woman in the church and gave them good wishes. In this way, church weddings spread slowly among young men and women. Many men and women came to the church and begged Valentine to hold a secret wedding for them. I agree to give them my heartfelt and sincere wishes every Valentine's Day. However, one day, the church wedding finally reached the ears of the tyrant Claudius, and Valentine was unfortunately arrested and tortured in prison. Valentine died in prison on February 14, 270 AD.
As a legend, Valentine was praised and admired by the world. In memory of him, February 14 every year became Valentine's Day. In the Middle Ages, Valentine's Day was once the most popular and popular festival in Britain and France.
