The Origin of Valentine's Day

270 AD - Valentine, a Roman saint, was executed, and this day was designated as "Valentine's Day" by later generations.
Valentine's Day, also known as Valentine's Day, is a national festival in some countries in Europe, America and Oceania. There are many origins of this holiday, but the most common one is that it was named "Valentine's Day" after the execution of the Roman saint Valentine.
In the 3rd century AD, the Roman Empire was in a comprehensive crisis. The economy was in decline, the ruling class was corrupt, society was in turmoil, and the people were rebelling. In order to maintain its rule, the aristocracy brutally suppressed the people and Christians. At that time, a Christian named Valentine was arrested and imprisoned.
While in prison, he moved the warden's daughter with his honesty. They love each other and are taken care of by the warden's daughter. The ruling class ordered his execution. Before his execution, he wrote a long suicide note to the warden's daughter, stating that he was innocent. It shows his upright character and his deep attachment to the warden's daughter.
He was executed on February 14, 270 AD. Later, in order to commemorate Valentine's sacrifice for justice and pure love, Christians designated the day of his execution as "St. Valentine's Day", which was later changed to "Valentine's Day".
