　　Several stories are told about the origin of Saint Valentine's Day. One legend dates as far as the days of the Roman Empire. According to the story, Claudius, the Emperor of Rome, wanted to increase the size of his army. He knew that it would be easier to get young men who were not married to join. Therefore he made a rule that no young man could marry until he had served a certain number of years in the army.

　　A priest named Valentine broke the rule and secretly married a great many young people. Finally, Claudius found out about Valentine and put the priest in prison, where he remained until his death on Feb.14.

　　After his death, Valentine was made a saint, and the day of his death was named Saint Valentine's Day. It became the custom for lovers to send each other messages on this day. Now Saint Valentine's Day is a time for people to send one another greetings of many kinds.

　　February 14, Valentine's Day, is sweet hearts' day, on which people in love with each other express their tender emotions. People sometimes put their love messages in a heart-shaped box of chocalates, or a bunch of flowers tied with red ribbons. Words or letters may be written on the flower-covered cards, or something else. Whatever the form may be, the message is almost the same：“Will you be my valentine?”

　　Another story has it that while Valentine was in prison waiting for his fate, he came in contact with his jailor, Asterius. The jailor had a blind daughter. Asterius requested him to heal his daughter. Through his faith he miraculously restored the sight of Asterius' daughter and fell in love with her. Just before he was put to death, he asked for a pen and paper from his jailor, and signed a farewell message to her “From Your Valentine”, a phrase that lived ever after.

　　Another valentine gentleman you may be wondering about is Cupid (Latin,“desire”). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.

　　It is an old English custom to send a message or card to the person you love on St. Valentine's Day. Here are some samples:

　　1. To one's beloved wife:

　　Susan Harbert: Thanks for: 14 good years, 5000 breakfasts, 5 kids and you.

　　情人節(jié)的由來有幾種不同的傳說，其中一傳說要追溯到古羅馬帝國時期。根據這一傳說，羅馬皇帝克勞迪斯想擴充軍隊， 他知道招募未婚青年參軍要容易一些。于是他就制定了一項法規(guī)：男青年必須在軍隊服役一定年限后才能結婚。

　　可是有個叫瓦倫丁的神父違犯規(guī)定，秘密為許多青年主持了婚禮。后來，克勞迪斯發(fā)覺了瓦倫丁的所為，就把他關進了監(jiān)獄，一直關押到2月14日他在獄中死去。

　　瓦倫丁死后被奉為圣人，他去世的日子就命名為“圣瓦倫丁節(jié)”。情人們在這一天互表愛慕之意就演為習俗。而現(xiàn)在，圣瓦倫丁節(jié)成了人們互致問候的日子。

　　2月14日的圣瓦倫丁節(jié)，是情人的節(jié)日，戀愛中的情人們在這一天互表愛意柔情。有時情人們把情書放在心狀的巧克力盒子里或放在用紅絲帶扎起的花束中， 在鮮花裝飾的賀卡或其他東西上寫上幾個字或一封信。不管采取什么形式，書寫的內容幾乎一樣：“你愿意做我的情人嗎?”

　　另一個傳說是，瓦倫丁在監(jiān)獄里命運未卜的時候，認識了典獄長阿斯特里奧斯。該典獄長有一個雙目失明的女兒。典獄長請求他治好女兒的眼睛。瓦倫丁以其堅強的信念奇跡般地恢復了典獄長女兒的視力，并且愛上了她。就在行刑前，他從典獄長那里要了一支筆、一張紙，給典獄長的女兒寫了一封“訣別”信，署名“寄自瓦倫丁”。“From your valentine”這幾個字就這樣沿用至今。

　　談到情人節(jié)，要提到的另一人物是丘比特(在拉丁語中，“丘比特”是“欲望”之意)。在羅馬神話中，丘比特是愛之女神維納斯之子。在希臘神話中，愛神名叫厄洛斯。傳說中，丘比特是一個頑皮的男孩，他四處轉悠，用弓箭射中天神或凡人，使他們墜入愛河。
