When is Valentine's day? What month is Valentine's Day 2019

Valentine's Day 2019 is on Thursday, February 14. The lunar calendar is on the tenth day of the first month.

Valentine's Day origins

Valentine's Day is the English name for Valentine's day. Literally, it's hard to see the connection between Chinese and Western names. There is a moving story hidden in it.

Around the third century A.D. in Rome, when Caesar had been dead for nearly three hundred years, the tyrant Claudius came to power. At that time, there were frequent wars inside and outside Rome, and the people had no life. In order to supplement the soldiers and carry out the war to the end, Claudius ordered that all men of a certain age must enter the Roman army to serve the country with their lives. Since then, the husband left his wife and the young man left his lover. So the whole of Rome was shrouded in a long Acacia. The tyrant was furious about it. In order to achieve his own goal, he even ordered to forbid Chinese people to hold wedding ceremony, and even asked those who had been married to destroy the engagement!

However, tyranny cannot forbid love. In the tyrant's capital, there lived a highly respected monk. He was valentine, our hero. He couldn't bear to see a couple die like this, so he secretly presided over God's wedding ceremony for the couple who came to ask for help. For a while, the exciting news spread throughout the country, and more couples secretly came to ask for the help of the monks.

However, it was soon known by the tyrant, so he once again showed his cruelty - he put the friar in prison and tortured him to death. The day the friar died was February 14, A.D. 270.

Many centuries later, people can no longer remember the name of Claudius, his scepter and sword, but they will still remember friar Valentine, because that day is Valentine's day, Valentine's day.

In memory of the man who dared to fight against the tyrant, people gradually made February 14 a festival.
