情人节英文简介：

St. Valentine's Day has roots in several 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 represented 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 because he was a Christian, but also
because he had performed a miracle. He supposedly 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
that this same Valentine, well- loved by all, received notes
to his jail cell from children and friends who missed him.

Another Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived at
about the same time, AD 200. He was imprisoned because he
secretly 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 chose 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

most Americans observe 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 send candy to
someone you think is special. Or you can send roses, the
flower of love. Most people send
card named after the notes that St. Valentine received in
jail. Valentines can be sentimental, romantic and
heartfelt(真心真意的). They can be funny and friendly. If the
sender is shy, valentines can be anonymous.

Americans of all ages love to send 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 send in a
message, for a small fee of course, destined for a would-be
sweetheart, a good friend, an acquaintance or even a spouse
of fifty years. The message is printed in a special section
of the newspaper on February 14
