Dates and customs of Chinese and English traditional festivals]

Saint Valentine's Day is a very important festival in the United States and Britain, and the time is February 14 every year.

There are many different explanations about the origin of Valentine's Day, but most of them can't be verified. Among them, the most popular one is that it was established by a Christian martyr in Rome to commemorate Saint Valentine. Legend has it that before he was beheaded on February 38+04, 654, he used his persistent love magic to make his blind daughter have the illusion of love.

It is worth noting that Valentine's Day holiday is not only for young people, but also a popular holiday. On Valentine's Day, lovers not only give cards and gifts to each other, but also give gifts and cards to their parents, the elderly and others who are respected and loved by them. What is particularly fascinating is the fancy dress ball on Valentine's Day night. This was very popular decades ago. Everyone took pains to dress themselves up when they started dancing, some disguised as medieval knights, some as Spanish pirates, and some as Oriental emperors. Smart dance masters usually send each guest a lace Valentine's Day card with a person's name on it. This person will be your partner tonight. So at the ball, people will be able to see Romeo and Cinderella dancing; Hamlet and Carmen's conversation; The Arabian Princess has dinner with charles ii. Their makeup is not so realistic. It feels like the resurrection of a group of ancient people.
