情人节凄美起源：瓦伦丁的临死告白 情人节的起源有基督教的传说，说瓦伦丁是个牧师，在古罗马的暴政统治下，偷偷地为想要结婚的青年男女按基督徒的仪式主持婚礼，结果被抓住处死。可是，这里还有另一种说法呢，说他是爱上了监狱看守的女儿，在临死前向她表白自己的心意…… According to one legend，Valentine actually sent the first “valentine”greeting himself. While in prison，it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl —— who may have been his jailor’s daughter —— who visited him during his confinement. Before his death，it is alleged that he wrote her a letter，which he signed “From your Valentine，”an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky，the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic，heroic，and，most importantly，romantic figure. It’s no surprise that by the Middle Ages，Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/ae84c7287cd5360cba1aa8114431b90d6c85892e.html
