Version 1, Father Valentine

Claudius II, a soldier from the Roman Empire, was a very powerful king. Although he was in office for only two years, during his tenure, he defeated the Goths, recovered Spain and conquered part of Gaul. In other words, he is a monarch who advocates war.

In 270 AD, Claudius II issued an order that young people were not allowed to get married in order to encourage them to fight.

In ancient Rome, February 15 was Valentine's Day for young men and women to express their love. Claudius II's order broke some couples' plans and caused dissatisfaction among many young people.

Christian pastor Valentine stood up and told couples that you can choose to get married in my church.

Roman religion was still the main religion at that time, and Christianity was not a legal Sect at that time. It was not until 3 13 A.D. that Constantine issued the Decree of Milan to allow Christianity to preach in Rome, which was still early.

Valentine broke two laws in a row, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Roman emperor. He ordered the execution of Valentine.

Later, in order to commemorate Valentine, Christianity took the day when Valentine was killed, that is, February 14, as Valentine's Day.

Version 2, Christian Valentine

Valentine, a Christian, was put into prison by the Roman Empire because of his faith, but Valentine cured the blind daughter of the warden in prison.

This miracle has attracted the attention of the authorities, who believe that it will shake the Roman faith in Rome and turn to Christianity. The authorities thought that locking him up was not enough to solve the problem, so they sentenced him to death.

Valentine wrote a confession letter to the warden's daughter before he died: from your Valentine.

The warden's daughter was moved by Valentine's friendship. Every February 14, the day he died, she would visit Valentine's grave.

The custom of Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day, people have the custom of giving cards and roses and eating chocolate.

Valentine's Day is now a popular holiday all over the world. In this festival custom, flowers and chocolates are essential in the celebration. Under normal circumstances, it is men who give these gifts to women to express their dedication and passion for their lovers. In western mythology, the rose is the representative of love, representing love, and it is the most suitable flower for Valentine's Day.

Different colors of roses represent different meanings, and the number of flowers sent is different. The common 1 rose stands for "You are the only one in my heart", 1 1 rose stands for "I only love you forever" and 99 roses stand for "Forever and ever".

The red rose means "madly in love", and most couples who are just in love will choose this color, while the yellow rose means "apology". If you have friends who want to apologize recently, it is also a good choice to use this colored rose as a gift to convey your heart.

In addition, chocolate is also a necessary gift for Valentine's Day. It is very appropriate to give sweet and bitter chocolate as a gift to your lover. The exquisite packaging of chocolate is also a highlight of this festival. Chocolate is as important as roses in Valentine's Day gifts. In Mayan culture, chocolate is also regarded as an aphrodisiac with mysterious characteristics.
