About Valentine's Day in the West on February 14Origin of Valentine's Day
Legend
In ancient Rome, the 14th of February was set up to show respect for Yona. Yona was the queen of the Roman gods, and the Romans honored her as the god of both women and marriage. The next day, February 15, was known as "Lupusala", a festival to honor the other gods under the rule of Jona.
In ancient Rome, the lives of young men and women were strictly separated. However, on the festival of Lupasara, lads were allowed to choose the name of a girl of their choice to be engraved on a vase. This way, when the festival was over, the lad could dance with the girl of his choice and celebrate the festival. If the chosen girl was also interested in the boy, they would be paired up and eventually they would fall in love and walk into the church together to get married. This is why the 14th of February is celebrated as Valentine's Day.
Legend Two
Valentine's Day is called St. Valentine's Day in English. Literally, it's hard to see any connection between the Chinese and Western ways of saying Valentine's Day. There is a moving story hidden inside. In the third century AD, there was a tyrant named Claudius in ancient Rome. At that time, the Roman internal and external wars were frequent, in order to replenish the soldiers, the tyrant ordered: all men of a certain age, must enter the army to serve the country. Since then, husbands left their wives, teenagers left their lovers, and the whole of Rome was shrouded in long-lasting love. However, tyranny could not forbid love. Not far from the palace of the tyrant, there was a very beautiful temple. The monk Valentine lived here. The Romans revered him, men and women, young and old, rich and poor, always gathered around him, in front of the altar fire, listening to Valentine's prayers.
The wars of ancient Rome were constant, and the tyrant Claudius enlisted a large number of citizens to go to war, and people complained. The men were reluctant to leave their families, and the young men could not bear to be separated from their lovers. Claudius was so furious that he ordered that no marriages should be celebrated, and even all betrothals were to be broken off at once. Many young men thus bid farewell to their loved ones and went off to war in grief. The young girls were also depressed and saddened by the loss of their lovers.
Valentine was very saddened by the tyrant's abusive behavior. When a couple came to the temple to ask for his help, Valentini quietly married them in front of the sacred altar. Word spread and many people came to be partnered with Valentine's help. Word finally reached the palace and reached the ears of the tyrant. Once again, Klaudos was furious, and he ordered his soldiers to storm the temple and drag Valentine away from a couple in the middle of a wedding ceremony and throw him into a dungeon. The people begged in vain for the tyrant's impeachment. The dungeon was a place where he was tortured and died.
His sorrowful friends buried him in the church of St. Pula. The day was February 14th, and the year was 270 AD.
Legend #3
Legend has it that Valentine was one of the first Christians in a time when being a Christian meant danger and death. To cover other martyrs, Valentine was captured and thrown into a prison cell. There he healed the blind eyes of the warden's daughter. When the tyrant heard of this miracle, he was so terrified that he had Valentine beheaded. According to the legend, on the morning of the execution, Valentine wrote an affectionate farewell letter to the warden's daughter, addressed to her: From your Valentine. On that day, the blind daughter planted an apricot tree with red flowers in front of his grave to send her love, and that day was February 14th.
Since then, Christianity has designated February 14 as Valentine's Day.
Legend 4
Historians prefer to get to the bottom of the matter, and their rendition of Valentine's Day seems convincing. In fact, as far back as 270 AD, when the foundations of the city of Rome were laid, the surrounding area was still a wilderness with packs of wolves roaming around. Among the gods worshipped by the Romans, Lupercus, the god of animal husbandry, was in charge of the protection of shepherds and flocks. Every year in mid-February, the Romans celebrated the Pastoral Festival with great ceremony. At that time, the calendar was slightly later compared to today, so the festival was actually a celebration of the coming spring. Others say the festival celebrated the god Faunus, which was similar to the ancient Greek god Pan, who was a goat-footed man with horns on his head, and was in charge of animal husbandry and agriculture.
The origins of the faun festival are too ancient to be confirmed by scholars of the first century BC. But the importance of the festival is undeniable.
For example, it is recorded that Antony gave the crown to Julius Caesar in 44 BC on the occasion of the Feast of the Patriarchs.
Every year on February 15, monks would gather in the city of Rome by a cave on the hill of Baronetine, where it is said that the founder of the ancient city of Rome was raised by a she-wolf. Among the festivities of the festival was the running through the streets of the young nobles, armed with sheepskin whips. Young women would gather on both sides of the street and pray for the whip to strike them on the head. It was believed that this would make it easier for them to have children. In Latin, the sheepskin whip was called februa and the lash was called fabruatio, both of which actually mean "purity". This is where the word February comes from.
As Roman power expanded across Europe, the custom of the festival of the shepherds was brought to what is now France and Britain. One of the most popular events of the festival was something like a lottery. The names of young women were placed in a box and young men came forward to draw them. The winning pair became lovers for a year or more.
The rise of Christianity led to a decline in the practice of honoring the gods. Not wanting people to give up the joys of the festival, the clergy changed the pastoral festival (Lupercalia) to Valladin and moved it to February 14th. In this way, the legend of Friar Valentine and the ancient festival were naturally combined. This festival was most popular in medieval England. After the names of unmarried men and women were drawn, they would exchange gifts with each other, and the woman would become the Valentine of the man during the year. The woman's name would be embroidered on the man's sleeve, and the care and protection of that woman would then become the sacred duty of that man.
The Pope declared February 14th Valentine's Day in about 498 AD. This Roman form of marriage was considered illegitimate by Christians. During the Middle Ages, in England and France, it was commonly believed that February 14 was the season for mating birds. Thus an addition was made to this day that it should be a day of romance. The earliest Valentine's Day gift was a poem written by the Duke of Orleans, Charles, to his wife from his prison in the Tower of London. For he had been captured at the Battle of Agincourt. Now this blessing, written in 1415, is in the British Museum in London. A few years later, King Henry V hired John Lydgate to write a tune for Catherine of Valois as a Valentine's Day gift.
The earliest Valentine's Day
The earliest known Valentine's lover in the modern sense was in the early fifteenth century. The young French Archduke of Orleans was captured by the British at the Battle of Agincourt and then imprisoned in the Tower of London for many years. He wrote many love poems to his wife, about 60 of which have survived to this day. The use of flowers as tokens of Vallendar appeared about two hundred years later. One of the daughters of King Henry IV of France had a big party at Vallée de Genève. All the ladies received a bouquet of flowers from the man who chose her to be Valentine.
In this way, continuing the ancient Italian, French and English customs, we are able to send a message of love to our friends every year on February 14th. Flowers, heart-shaped candies, and tokens with lace and tassels covering the name of the sender, not only represent a sincere love, but also the best memory of Brother Valentine, who dared to resist tyranny.
What is Valentine's Day called?
St. Valentine's Day (St. Valentine's Day)
Probably there are as many Valentines in the world as there are interpreters of the origin of Valentine's Day.
The Chinese are now celebrating Christmas with almost fervent enthusiasm, and Valentine's Day has quietly penetrated into the hearts of countless young people, becoming another important festival in addition to the traditional Chinese holidays. The origin and significance of Valentine's Day may not be known to most people. The following is just one of the many legends about Valentine's Day.
In ancient Roman times, February 14th was a holiday set aside to honor Yona. Yona was the queen of the Roman gods, and the Romans honored her as both the god of women and marriage. The next day, February 15, was known as "Lupusala", a festival to honor the other gods under the rule of Yona.

This way, when the festival was over, the lad could dance with the girl of his choice and celebrate the festival. If the chosen girl was also interested in the boy, they would be paired up and eventually they would fall in love and walk into the church together to get married. This is why the 14th of February is celebrated 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 your loved one. In this regard, Valentine's Day reflects, is not it the ancient Romans designed this holiday intention?
In the third century, there was a tyrant in ancient Rome named Claudius. Not far from the tyrant's palace, there was a very beautiful temple. The monk Valentine lived there. The Romans revered him, men and women, young and old, rich and poor, will always gather around him, in front of the altar of the sacred fire, listen to Valentine's prayers.

Many young men thus left their lovers and went off to war in grief. The young girls were also depressed and saddened by the loss of their lovers.
Valladin was very saddened by the abusive behavior of the tyrant. When a couple came to the temple and asked for his help, Vaishnudeen quietly married them in front of the sacred altar. Word spread and many people came to be partnered with the help of Varundeen.
The news finally reached the palace and reached the ears of the tyrant. Once again, Klaudos stormed out, ordering his soldiers to storm the temple and drag Valentine away from a couple in the middle of a wedding ceremony and throw him into a dungeon. The people begged in vain for the tyrant's impeachment. The dungeon was a place where he was tortured and died.
His sorrowful friends buried him in the church of St. Pula. The day was February 14, and the year was 270 AD.
The other version seems to be less exciting than this one. Legend has it that Valentine was one of the earliest Christians, a time when being a Christian meant danger and death. To cover other martyrs, Valentine was captured and thrown into a prison cell. There he healed the blind eyes of the warden's daughter. When the tyrant heard of this miracle, he was so terrified that he had Valentine beheaded.

On February 15, monks gather at a cave on the Palantine Hill in Rome, where the founders of the city (Romilus and Remus) are said to have been raised by a she-wolf. Among the festivities of the festival was the running of the young nobles through the streets, armed with sheepskin whips. Young women would gather on the sides of the streets and pray for the whip to strike them on the head. It was believed that this would make it easier for them to have children.

Flowers, candies in the shape of hearts, tokens with the name of the sender covered with lace and tassels, represent not only a sincere love, but also the best way to honor the memory of Friar Valentine, who dared to fight against the tyranny of the world.
Valentine's Day is a day for friends, a day for family, and a day for lovers. In the West, Valentine's Day is not only the best time to express affection, but also the best time to propose to one's beloved. In this regard, Valentine's Day reflects, is not it the ancient Romans designed this holiday intention?
Why is Valentine's Day in the West more popular than Valentine's Day in China?Because modern young people like fresh things, as opposed to China, has been subject to the influence of traditional thinking, so there is no bold attempts in terms of character, and many people have received some of the ideas of the West in their lives, the West focuses on romance, mood, taste.
