关于情人节的起源有许多种说法。有关人士认为情人节是一个名叫桑特-瓦伦丁的人士发起的。他是罗马人,因为拒绝放弃基督教而于公元前269年2月14日惨遭杀害.
Before dying he wrote a letter to a blind girl,expressing his love to her.On the day he was executed,the blind girl planted an almond tree in front of his tomb to give expression to her missing .And this day
is Valentine’s Day,February 14th.
临刑前圣瓦伦丁给姑娘写了封信,表明了对姑娘的深情。在他被处死的当天,盲女在他墓前种了一棵开红花的杏树,以寄托自己的情思。这一天就是2月14日。
Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ball.
此后2月14日就成为了一个具有特殊意义的日子。在这天人们向自己心仪的人传递信息以示爱意。而理所当然的桑特 瓦仑丁也就成为了为恋爱中的男女们牵线搭桥的人。在2月14日这天人们会特意做诗或者用一些小礼物送给自己心爱的人。而且人们还会组织各种各样的聚会来庆祝这个特殊的节日。
