There are many festivals in the West, but if it is the most favorite and most romantic festival for young people, it is Valentine's Day on February 14, I believe many people have also celebrated Valentine's Day.
In fact, the origin of Valentine's Day is very early, in the Roman Empire in the 3rd century AD. At that time, the king of the Roman Empire abolished the marriage system in order to let the young man go to the battlefield without worries, and ruthlessly separated the young people who loved each other. But there was a priest named St. Valentine, who still officiated at the wedding of young people who loved each other, so that they could fall in love and enter the palace of marriage.
When the king found out, he was furious and ordered the priest to be arrested and hanged. In order to commemorate the good deeds of Father St. Valentine, February 14, the day of his death, was designated as St. Valentine's Day, which was later called Valentine's Day, to commemorate him and to bless more young people to know and love each other.
On Valentine's Day, the happiest thing is to have a nice meal with the people you love. Generally on Valentine's Day, many restaurants will be very romantic, red balloons, roses, so that the whole restaurant is full of romantic atmosphere.
The meals will also be prepared carefully, especially steak and red wine are indispensable dishes for Valentine's Day. So every restaurant is almost full on Valentine's Day. Vertical knowledge.
The meaning of Valentine's Day is that it is like comparing the after-wheel elimination of human beings to a once-in-a-century drought weather, which needs the moisture of rain and the irrigation of heavy rain, and we regard it as the rain of love.
At the same time, everyone, whether they are children or adults, whether they have love and express love or not, everyone needs the love of many other people to water themselves and illuminate each other. That's why Valentine's Day was created to regulate this relationship, hoping that everyone can make their wishes come true, love is sweet, and happiness is beautiful.
