Valentine's Day, also known as Saint Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day, is one of the traditional festivals in western countries and originated from Christianity.
It is said that Valentine was one of the earliest Christians. Being a Christian at that time meant danger and death. In order to cover other martyrs, Valentine was taken to prison. There, he cured the blind eye of the warden's daughter. When the tyrant heard this miracle, he was very afraid and beheaded Valentine.
According to legend, on the morning of the execution, Valentine wrote an affectionate farewell letter to the warden's daughter, signed: from your Valentine. On the same day, the blind girl planted an apricot tree full of red flowers in front of his grave to show her mind. This day is 14 February. Since then, Christianity has designated February 14 as Valentine's Day.
