Valentine's Day is not truly a deliberate pursuit of romance and a passionate commemoration of love, but a moment to express gratitude and care.
In terms of time, Valentine’s Day is usually celebrated to commemorate the story of Saint Valentine, a pastor from ancient Rome who was beheaded to protect people’s marriage. Excitingly, the gift he left is a letter of blessings and faith, which can inspire people about the importance of love and care.
Each era has its own interesting customs.
• In ancient Rome, young people had a romantic way of celebrating- test marriage on the direction of petals blooming. The relative orientation of petals indicates a better married life.
• In the Victorian era, youths confirm whether the marriage is happy based on if flowers are blooming brilliantly or not. But just a symbol, the beauty of life is created by both sides.
• During the Buckinghamshire period, people invented a more interesting custom - lighting candles by inserting two thin needles into the candle and letting it burn, symbolizing that their love could withstand the test of fire.
In fact, we can only love others authentically when we love ourselves.
Eventually, wish all of us
• May our love and life be like wine, growing stronger over time.
愿我们的爱情和生活像酒一样，越久越浓
• I am fortunate enough to meet you in this life, not to disappoint time, not to disappoint you.
此生有幸与你相遇，不负时光不负卿
