情人节英文简介：

St. Valentine's Day has roots in veral different

legends that have found their way to us through the ages. One

of the earliest popular symbols of the day is Cupid(爱神丘比特), the Roman god of love, who is reprented by the image

of a young boy with bow and arrow.

Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the

Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the

Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in

prison for his teachings. On February 14, Valentine was

beheaded(斩首), not only becau he was a Christian, but also

becau he had performed a miracle. He suppodly cured the

jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was

executed, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell letter,

signing it "From Your Valentine." Another legend tells us

that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, received notes

to his jail cell from children and friends who misd him.

Another Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived at

about the same time, AD 200. He was imprisoned becau he

cretly married couples, contrary to the laws of the Roman

emperor. Some legends say he was burned at the stake.

February 14 was also a Roman holiday, held in honor of a

goddess. Young men randomly cho the name of a young girl to

escort to the festivities. The custom of choosing a

sweetheart on this date spread through Europe in the Middle

Ages, and then to the early American colonies. Throughout the

ages, people also believed that birds picked their mates on

February 14!

In AD 496 Sain Pope Gelasius I named February 14 as

"Valentine's Day". Although it's not an official holiday,

most Americans obrve this day.

Whatever the odd mixture of origins, St. Valentine's Day

is now a day for sweethearts. It is the day that you show

your friend or loved one that you care. You can nd candy to

someone you think is special. Or you can nd ros, the

flower of love. Most people nd "valentines," a greeting

card named after the notes that St. Valentine received in

jail. Valentines can be ntimental, romantic and

heartfelt(真心真意的). They can be funny and friendly. If the

nder is shy, valentines can be anonymous.

Americans of all ages love to nd and receive valentines.

Handmade valentines created by cutting hearts out of colored

paper, show that a lot of thought was put into making them

personal. Valentines can be heart-shaped, or have hearts, the

symbol of love, on them. In elementary schools children make

valentines for their classmates and put them in a large

decorated box, similar to a mailbox. On February 14, the

teacher opens the box and distributes the valentines to each

student. After the students read their valentines they have a

small party with refreshments.

For teenagers and adults, major newspapers throughout the

country have a Valentine's Day offer. Anyone can nd in a

message, for a small fee of cour, destined for a would-be

sweetheart, a good friend, an acquaintance or even a spou

of fifty years. The message is printed in a special ction

of the newspaper on February 14
