EveryFebruary,acrossthecountry,candy,flowers,andgiftsareexchangedbetweenlovedones,allinthenameofSt.Valentine.Butwhoisthismysterioussaintandwhydowecelebratethisholiday? ThehistoryofValentine’sDayisshrouded掩蔽inmystery.ButwedoknowthatFebruaryhaslongbeenamonthofromance.St.Valentine’sDay,asaweknowittoday,containsmanystoriesfrombothChristianandancientRomantraditions.

Today,thechurchrecognizesatleastthreedifferentsaints,oneofwhomwasnamedValentine圣瓦伦丁(公元3世纪时罗马基督教殉道者).OnestoryarguesthatValentinewasapriestwhoservedduringthethirdcenturyinRome.

Accordingtothestory,Valentineactuallysentfirst“Valentine’greetinghimself.Whileinprison,itisbelievedthatValentinefellinlovewithayounggirlwhovisitedhimduringhisconfinement.Beforehisdeath,itissaidthathewroteheraletter,inwhichhesigned‘FromyourValentine’,anexpressionthatisstillinusetoday.

Valentinewasapriest牧师livinginRomeduringthethirdcentury.Atthattime,RomewasruledbyanemperornamedClaudius克劳迪亚斯.Hewantedtohaveabigarmyandexpectedmentovolunteer自愿tojoin.Howevermanymenjustdidnotwanttofightinwars.Theydidnotwanttoleavetheirwivesandfamilies.

ThismadeClaudiusveryangry.Hethoughtthatifmenwerenotmarried,theywouldnotmindjoiningthearmy.SoClaudiusbannedmarriageevenengagementfromhisempire.ButValentinewouldkeeponperformingmarriageceremonies典礼,仪式secretly.Hewascaughtbythesoldiersatawedding,andwasthrownintoprisonandbeheaded斩…之首,砍…的头.Valentinefellinlovewiththedaughterofhisjailer监狱看守,狱卒whenhewasinprison.BeforehewastakentohisdeathonFebruary14,269A.D.,hesignedafarewellmessagetoher,“LovefromyourValentine.”ThatnotestartedthecustomofexchanginglovemessagesonValentine’sDay.

AlthoughthetruthbehindtheValentinestoriesisnotclear,thestoriescertainlyemphasizehisappealasasympathetic,heroic,and,mostimportant,romanticfigure.
