【篇一:valentine day 西方情人节简介,英文版】

what is valentines day?

valentines day is a celebration of romantic love occurring
annually on february

gh its origin is associated by legend with a catholic
saint named valentine, the fact is valentines day is not a
religious holiday and never really has been. valentines day has
historical roots mainly in greco-roman pagan fertility festivals
and the medieval notion that birds pair off to mate on february
history of exchanging cards and other tokens of love on
february 14 began to develop in england and france in the 14th
and 15th centuries and became especially popular in the
united states in the 19th and 20th the last
decade or so, valentines day observance has even spread to
the far east, india, and the middle east. what is the history of
valentines day?

the origin of associating the middle of february with love and
fertility dates to ancient times. in ancient athens, the period
between mid-january and mid-february was the month of
gamelion, which was dedicated to the sacred marriage of zeus
and ancient rome, february 15 was lupercalia, the
festival of lupercus (or faunus), the god of fertility. as part of
the purification ritual, the priests of lupercus would sacrifice
goats and a dog to the god, and after drinking wine, they would
run through the streets of rome striking anyone they met with
pieces of the goat skin. young women would come forth
voluntarily for the occasion, believing that being touched by
the goat skin would render them fertile. young men would also
draw names from an urn, choosing their blind date for the
coming year. in 494 ad the christian church under pope
gelasius i appropriated the some aspects of the rite as the
feast of the christianity, at least three different
saints named valentine or valentinus, all of them martyrs, are
mentioned in the early lives of the saints under the date of
february 14. two of the valentines lived in italy in the third
century: one as a priest at rome, the other as bishop of terni.
they are both said to have been martyred in rome and buried
on the flaminian way. a third st. valentine was martyred in
north africa and very little else is known of l legends
have developed around one or more of these valentines, two of
which are especially popular. according to one account,
emperor claudius ii outlawed marriage for all young
menbecause he believed unmarried men made better soldiers.
valentine defied claudius and continued to perform marriages
for young couples and was put to death by the emperor for it. a
related legend has valentine writing letters from prison to his
beloved, signing them from your r, the
connection between st. valentine and romantic love is not
mentioned in any early histories and is regarded by historians
as purely a matter of legend. the feast of st. valentine was first
declared to be on february 14 by pope gelasius i around 498. it
is said the pope created the day to counter the practice held on
lupercalia, but this is not attested in any sources from that
first recorded association of st. valentines day with
romantic

lovewas in the 14th century in england and france, where it
was believed that february 14 was the day on which birds
paired off to mate. thus we read in geoffrey chaucers (c. 1343-
1400) parliament of fowls, believed to be the first valentines
day poem:

for this was on saint valentines day,

when every fowl comes there to choose his mate.

it became common during that era for lovers to exchange
notes on valentines day and to call each other their valentines.
the first valentine card was sent by charles, duke of orleans, to
his wife in 1415 when he was a prisoner in the tower of london.
valentines daylove notes were often given anonymously. it is
probable that many of the legends about st. valentine
developed during this period (see above). by the 1700s, verses
like roses are red, violets are blue became popular. by the
1850s, romantics in france began embellishing their valentine
cards with gilt paper, ribbons and lace.

valentines day was probably imported into north america in
the 19th century with settlers from britain. in the united states,
the first mass-produced valentines of embossed paper lace
were produced and sold shortly after 1847 by esther a.
howland (1828 - 1904) of worcester, massachusetts. her father
operated a large book and stationery store, and she took her
inspiration from an english valentine she had the
19th century, relics of st. valentine were donated by pope
gregory xvi to the whitefriar street carmelite church in dublin,
ireland, which has become a popular place of pilgrimage on
february in 1969, as part of a larger effort to pare down
the number of saint days of legendary origin, the church
removed st. valentines day as an official holiday from its
calendar.

valentines day is the mutual exchange of love notes called

give way to the exchange of mass-produced greeting cards.
these cards are no longer given just to lovers, but also to

exchanging cards has been extended to include the giving of
gifts, usually from a man to his girlfriend or wife. the most
popular valentines day gifts areroses and chocolate. starting in
the 1980s, the diamond industry began to promote valentines
day as an occasion for the giving of fine jewelry. many couples
also schedule a romantic dinner date on valentines day.
valentines day in china and japan

thanks to a concentrated marketing effort, valentines day has
emerged in japan as a day on which women give chocolates to
men they has become for many women – especially
those who work in offices – an obligation, and they give
chocolates to all their male co- workers (especially the boss),
sometimes at significant personal expense. this chocolate is

valentines day controversy in india and the middle east
valentines day only arrived in india a few years ago, but it has
quickly gained popularity among young urban people along
with a great deal of controversy among conservative hindus.

affection between the sexes, including hand-holding, which
valentines day encourages, and valentines day is also
resented by some as a christian and western 2004,
militant hindu nationalists threatened to beat the faces and
shave the heads of those who participated in valentines day
customs. we will not allow westernization of indian culture as
st. valentine was a christian and celebrating valentines day
would be a violation of indian culture, said ved prakash
sachchan, of the militant hindu organization bajrang dal, in
uttar pradesh. similarly, a leader of the radical hindu group
shiv sena has condemned the holiday as nothing but a western
onslaught on indias culture to attract youth for commercial
purposes. members of the group have stolen valentines day
greeting cards from a store and ceremonially burned
r valentines day backlash has occurred in many
muslim countries. in pakistan in 2004, the jamaat-e- islami party,
