The origin of valentine's day

In ancient Rome, February 14 was a festival to show respect for Jonah. Jonah was the queen of the Roman gods, and the Romans regarded her as the goddess of women and marriage. The following February 15 was called "Lupsala Festival" to show respect for other gods under Jonah.

In ancient Rome, the lives of young people and girls were strictly separated. However, on Lupsala Festival, boys can choose the name of a girl they love and carve it on a vase.

In this way, during the festival, young people can dance with the girl of their choice to celebrate the festival. If the selected girls are interested in boys, they can always pair up and eventually they will fall in love and get married in church. For this reason, future generations designated February 14 every year as Valentine's Day.

Extended data:

Valentine's Day is a day to be cautious-especially for singles and romantic people. You should peek through the keyhole when you get up in the morning on Valentine's Day.

According to legend, if the first person you see is walking alone, then you are single that year; If you see two or more people walking together, then you will definitely find the lover of that year.

If you see a rooster and a hen, you will get married before Christmas. But now there are few cocks and hens in the yard of each family, and there will be no chickens in the open space of the city. It would be great if we could see a pair of pigeons or sparrows.

From ancient Rome to Victorian times, people used two half-blooming flowers to predict the situation after marriage. Unmarried men and women plant two half-blooming flowers, and the initials of the flower names should be the same as those of their respective names.

If two flowers open to each other, it indicates that the husband and wife are happy for life; If two flowers are opposite, it indicates that husband and wife will go their separate ways; If the flowers are in full bloom, it means that the family will prosper in the future; If a flower withers or dies, it means that one spouse will die before the other.
