Do you know the history of Valentine’s Day? 公元三世纪时，古罗马有一位暴君叫克劳多斯。暴君的宫殿不远，有一座非常漂亮的神庙。修士瓦沦丁就住在这里，罗马人非常崇敬他。当时，古罗马的战事一直连绵不断，暴君克劳多斯征召了大批公民前往战场，人们怨声载道。男人们不愿意离开家庭，小伙子们不忍与情人分开。克劳多斯暴跳如雷，他传令人们不许举行婚礼，甚至连所有已订了婚的也马上要解除婚约。许多年轻人就这样告别爱人，悲愤地走向战场。年轻的姑娘们也由于失去爱侣，抑郁神伤。 瓦沦丁对暴君的虐行感到气愤。当一对情侣来到神庙请求他的帮助时，瓦沦丁在神圣的祭坛前为它们悄悄地举行了婚礼。人们一传十，十传百，很多人来到这里，在瓦沦丁的帮助下结成伴侣。 消息终于传到了暴君的耳里。他命令士兵们冲进神庙，将瓦沦丁从一对正在举行婚礼的新人身旁拖走，投入地牢。人们苦苦哀求暴君的赦免，但都徒劳而返。瓦沦丁终于在地牢里受尽折磨而死。那一天是公元２７０年２月１４日，后人为纪念这位善良的修士，将每年的2月14日定为情人节 Qiqiao Festival the seventh day of the seventh lunar month Do we have our own Valentine’s Day in China?
