The origin of Valentine's Day

There are several stories about the origin of Valentine's Day,

The first story is that it was in Rome in the third century A.D., when Julius Caesar had been dead for almost three hundred years and the tyrant Claudius was in power. At that time, there were frequent wars both inside and outside of Rome, and the people were suffering. In order to replenish the army and carry the war to its end, Claudius decreed that all men within a certain age range must enter the Roman army and serve their country with their lives. Since then, husbands left their wives, and teenagers left their lovers. The whole of Rome was then enveloped in a long period of lovesickness. The tyrant was furious at this. In order to achieve his own purpose, he even ordered to prohibit the country to hold marriage ceremonies, and even asked those who were already married to break the marriage contract. However, tyranny cannot forbid love. In the capital city of the tyrant lived a highly respected monk, Valentine, our hero. He could not bear to see couples separated from each other, so he secretly performed God's marriage ceremony for couples who came to him for help. In time, this exciting news spread throughout the land, and more couples secretly came to ask for the monk's help.

But the matter soon became known to the tyrant anyway, and once again he showed his brutal face - beating the friar into a large prison and eventually torturing him to death. The day of the friar's death was February 14th, in the year 270 AD.

February 14th gradually became a holiday in honor of the man who dared to fight the tyrant. Many centuries later, people no longer remember the name of Claudius or his scepter and sword, but they still honor the memory of Friar Valentine because it is Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day.

The second theory is that in ancient Rome, 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 Jona.

In ancient Rome, the lives of young men and young 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. For this reason, the 14th of February is celebrated as Valentine's Day every year.

The third story is that, according to legend, Valentine was one of the earliest Christians, at 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 girl planted an apricot tree with red flowers at his grave to send her love, and that day was February 14th.

But no matter what the origin of Valentine's Day is, in today's world, Valentine's Day is a day for men and women to tell each other how they feel about each other, so many people will confess their love, propose to each other, and get married on this day because confessing, proposing to each other, or getting married on this day, gives the impression that the success rate will be higher than usual. But this is not the most important, if you want to propose, the most important thing is to be able to give your girlfriend a like Darry Ring, each man with an ID card can only be customized for a lifetime, to give the most loving person, meaning "the only true love of a lifetime," a lifetime commitment, so that she knows that you will love her for the rest of her life, the rest of her life to her! The first thing you need to do is to get married to her, and you want to be with her for the rest of your life.
