The Legend and Origin of Valentine's Day 3:
It originated from the festival of faun in ancient Rome. According to this statement, the Christian church celebrated this day in order to christianize the faun festival in ancient Rome (celebrated on February 15 every year to protect the productivity of people, fields and livestock).
Among the gods worshipped by the Romans, Lubbocus was in charge of the protection of shepherds and sheep. Every year in mid-February, the Romans hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the festival of faun.
Compared with now, the calendar at that time was a little later, so the festival of faun was actually a celebration of the coming spring. Some people also say that this festival is to celebrate and bless the god Yunus, who is similar to the ancient Greek god Pan, with horns and feet and is in charge of animal husbandry and agriculture.
With the expansion of Roman power in Europe, the custom of faun festival was brought to France and Britain. One of people's favorite holiday activities is similar to lottery. The young women's names are put in the box, and then the young men come forward to smoke. A pair of drawn men and women become lovers for one year or more.
The rise of Christianity makes people's custom of commemorating gods gradually indifferent. The priests didn't want people to give up the joy of this festival, so they changed the festival of faun to Valentine's Day and moved it to February 14. In this way, the legend about the Valentine brothers and the ancient festivals are naturally combined. This festival was the most popular in medieval England. After the names of unmarried men and women are drawn, they will exchange gifts with each other, and women will become lovers of men within this year. A woman's name will be embroidered on a man's sleeve, so it is his sacred duty to take care of and protect women.
The origin and legend of Valentine's Day 3 Valentine's Day may be the most romantic festival in the world. In most countries, people celebrate Valentine's Day on February 6th. On this day, lovers declare their love to each other. This festival has a history of 1500 years.
Although Valentine's Day has existed for more than 1500 years, according to some pagan traditions, this "love" festival is popular even in the oldest times. In ancient Rome, a sumptuous banquet was held every February 15. It is called faun festival. On this day, girls will write love letters and put them in a big urn. Then, men will randomly choose letters and start dating the girl who wrote this letter.
The ancient Greeks called this festival a liturgy. They will play interesting sacrificial games to commemorate the legendary Greek goddess Pan. According to ancient mythology, Pan was a happy man. He likes to play the flute in the Woods, trying to attract local fairies with his big hooves. As for the image of Pan, you can refer to LOL's Aon.
There are many legends about the more modern view of this festival related to the name St. Valentine. One of the most popular is the story of a Christian missionary who married the soldiers of the Roman legion and their beloved woman in 269, although it was forbidden and might be sentenced to death. In order to maintain the morale of the army, the emperor issued a decree prohibiting soldiers from getting married, because people think that a married man will only consider his wife and family, and will not consider the empire or military strength.
Saint Valentine sympathized with these soldiers and tried his best to help them. He will reconcile quarrelling lovers, replace them with a declaration of love, send flowers to young spouses and hold secret weddings for soldiers.
When Claudius II learned about this, he ordered the priest to be put in prison and executed him soon after. According to legend, the jailer's blind daughter fell in love with Valentine when he was still in his cell. But Valentine, as a priest who swore celibacy, could not repay her feelings. However, before the execution on February 13, Valentine wrote a touching love letter to the blind girl, in which he confessed his true feelings to her. However, this letter was not delivered to the blind girl in time. It was not until Valentine died that the blind girl heard this letter. Miraculously, after hearing the letter, she saw the light again. We have reason to believe that love can cure all diseases!
