Today is white valentine's day. Compared with the Valentine's day we know, few people seem to know this day. Do you know the origin of White Valentine's day? Let's learn about it with Xiaobian!
Valentine's day and white valentine's Day originated in Rome in the third century. The Roman emperor set up Valentine's day to commemorate February 14, when he saved a pair of lovers who were to be executed for breaking the marriage ban.
On March 14, a month later, the rescued couple swore that their relationship would last forever, and another white valentine's Day was set to commemorate that day. The festival began to spread from Europe to the rest of the world.
In the Japanese folklore, February 14 was originally a day when girls appealed to boys. It was a day when girls gave Valentine's gifts to boys, but gradually developed to the end. It's no longer important who gave gifts on their own initiative on Valentine's day.
Now, 'White Valentine's Day' is very popular in Japan, Taiwan and other places. In Japan, if one party receives the Valentine's gift from the opposite sex on February 14 to express his love, and has the same affection or affection for the other party, he will send back a Valentine's gift on March 14, which means that this year, they have a heart to heart relationship. This is the definition of White Valentine's day.
