Origin and definition of Western Valentine’s Day

February 14th is Western Valentine’s Day, a holiday to celebrate love between two people. It is also a good time to confess your love to the person you secretly love. Dear traveler, I believe you must know the most famous Shakespeare play “Romeo and Juliet”, which can be said to be the most famous love story and also the most famous tragedy. Like the famous play, the origin of Valentine’s Day is also a tragedy. At present, the origin of Valentine’s Day has not been determined. But the most well-known story is about a martyr named Valentine. According to legend, the Catholic priest Valentine held secret weddings for single soldiers who were not allowed to get married and was sentenced to death by the Roman Emperor Claudius II. Or maybe he was persecuted and imprisoned for being a Christian, and while in prison he cured the blindness of the warden’s daughter, which made Emperor Claudius II fear his influence and sentence Valentine to death. It is said that on the morning of his execution, Valentine wrote a love letter to the warden’s daughter. Regardless of which legend it is, Valentine was executed on February 14th. This is the origin of Valentine’s Day, and the name Valentine also became Valentine’s Day.

After all, you are giving it to someone you love, so the following three gift-choosing criteria are for your reference so you don’t have to worry about picking the wrong Valentine’s Day gift:

1. Both design sense and texture

The gift has a sense of micro-design and texture from the outside to the inside, which will make the person you like feel that you really put a lot of thought into the gift, and it can also highlight the style of the gift giver, and the recipient will also silently give you extra points in their heart.

2. Can be stored for a long time and is not consumable

On this special day of Valentine’s Day, people usually hope to receive a gift with special meaning or a memorable gift, rather than a consumable item that is readily available. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a gift that has no shelf life or can be commemorated, such as arranging a romantic trip for two.

Three. Noble but not expensive

When giving Valentine’s Day gifts, remember not to give gifts that are too expensive. In addition to considering your own wallet, you must also consider the burden on the recipient. Therefore, it is very important to choose high-quality and affordable Valentine’s Day gifts.
