The origin of Valentine's day in the West:
In the third century AD, Emperor Claudius II of the Roman Empire announced to abandon all marriage commitments in the capital Rome. At that time, it was for the sake of war that more men who had no concern could go to the battlefield of war. A priest named Sanctus Valentinus failed to follow this will and continued to hold church weddings for young people in love. After the case was told, father Valentin was first flogged, then stoned, and finally hanged on February 14, 270 ad. After the 14th century, people began to commemorate this day. Now, Valentine's day, as it is translated into Chinese, is known in western countries as Valentine's day to commemorate the priest who died for his lover.
