The origin of valentine's day

In the 3rd century A.D., the Roman Empire experienced a comprehensive crisis, economic depression, corruption of the ruling class, social unrest and people rebelled. In order to maintain their rule, the aristocratic class brutally suppressed the people and Christians. Valentine, a Christian, was arrested and imprisoned. In prison, he touched the warden's daughter

They love each other and are taken care of by the warden's daughter. The ruling class ordered his death. Before the execution, he wrote a long suicide note to the warden's daughter, expressing his innocence. It shows that he is aboveboard and has deep feelings for the warden's daughter.

On February 14, AD 270, he was executed. Later, in order to commemorate Valentine's sacrifice for justice and pure love, Christians designated the execution day as "Saint Valentine's Day", and later generations changed it to "Valentine's Day".
