描述: The Origins of Valentine's Day
alentine's Day has become the day for love in American culture, when sweethearts buy cards, candy, flowers, and romantic dinners to prove their devotion to the one they adore. Like many other common holidays, however, Valentine's Day has roots in the ancient festivals of our European ancestors. Fertility and Love Among the Romans Also during the festival, young men would draw the names of eligible girls from a pot or urn. These couples would be paired up until the next Lupercalia, often in intimate ways. This drawing of Valentine lots continued into the Middle Ages in Europe. The young man would wear the slip bearing his Valentine's name on his sleeve, and attend to the lady with flowers, gifts, and words of affection. The Real St. Valentine Another Valentine was jailed for helping Christians during the 3rd century AD. In prison, he fell in love with the jailers daughter and cured her of blindness. He was executed on February 14th, 289 AD. All of the Valentine stories were finally combined, and in 496 Pope Gelasius declared Feb. 14th in honor of St. Valentine.
