  1. What day is Valentine’s day?
    Valentine (English name is Valentine’s Day) is also known as Valentine’s Day or Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is named after Saint Valentine, one of the first Christian martyrs. Years ago, Valentine was only popular in North America and Europe, but today it is popular in almost every country and is considered one of the important days of the year.

So where does Valentine’s origin come from? There are many theories surrounding this question, one of the most widely believed theories is the story of a priest named Valentine, who lived under Roman Emperor Claudius II.

Around the third century, the Roman Empire participated in many bloody wars and sacrificed many people. Due to the lack of support from the people, calling young men to join the army is even more difficult. Emperor Claudius II said that because they did not want to leave their wives, children, and lovers, they did not participate in war. It was marriage and love that made men weak and cowardly. The Emperor issued an order prohibiting people from organizing marriages to focus all their efforts on the wars.

The newly announced decree immediately received many protests from the people, priest Valentine was one of them. Despite the king’s orders, Saint Marius and priest Valentine still performed weddings for couples in secret. Not long after everything was discovered, priest Valentine was executed by being dragged and stoned to death on February 14, 273 AD.

According to legend, before he died, he sent his first ‘Valentine’s card’ to the prison warden’s daughter, a girl born blind who he miraculously cured. And on the last card he signed “dal vostro Valentino” (translated as From your Valentine).

Since then, February 14 every year has been the default day for couples in love, and Saint Valentine has become the saint that proves couples.
