In the 3rd century AD, Emperor Claudius II of the Roman Empire renounced all marriage promises in the capital Rome. At that time, more carefree men could go to war for the sake of war. A priest named SanctusValentinus did not follow this will and continued to hold church weddings for young people who loved each other.
After this incident was reported, Father Valentin was first flogged, then stoned to death, and finally hanged on February 14, AD 270. 14 century later, people began to commemorate this day. Now the Chinese translation of "Valentine's Day" is called Valentine's Day in western countries to commemorate the priest who died for his lover.
Legend 2:
It is said that Valentine was one of the earliest Christians. Being a Christian at that time meant danger and death. In order to cover other martyrs, Valentane was taken to prison. There, he cured the blind eye of the warden's daughter. When the tyrant heard a miracle, he was so frightened that he beheaded Valentane.
According to legend, on the morning of the execution, Valentane wrote an affectionate farewell letter to the warden's daughter, signed by FromyourValentine (from your lover). On the same day, the blind girl planted an apricot tree full of red flowers in front of his grave to show her mind. This day is 14 February. Since then, Christianity has designated February 14 as Valentine's Day.
