情人节中文简介:
每年2月14日,是西方传统的圣瓦伦丁节(valentinesday),又称情人节.
公元三世纪时,古罗马有一位暴君叫克劳多斯(claudius).离暴君的宫殿不远,有一座非常漂亮的神庙.修士瓦伦丁(valentine)就住在这里.罗马人非常崇敬他,男女老幼,不论贫富贵贱,总会群集在他的周围,在祭坛的熊熊圣火前,聆听瓦伦丁的祈祷.
古罗马的战事一直连绵不断,暴君克劳多斯征召了大批公民前往战场人们怨声载道.男人们不愿意离开家庭,小伙子们不忍与情人分开.克劳多斯暴跳如雷,他传令人们不许举行婚礼,甚至连所有已订了婚的也马上要解除婚约.许多年轻人就这样告别爱人,悲愤地走向战场.年轻的姑娘们也由于失去爱侣,抑郁神伤.
瓦伦丁对暴君的虐行感到非常难过.当一对情侣来到神庙请求他的帮助时,瓦伦丁在神圣的祭坛前为它们悄悄地举行了婚礼.人们一传十,十
传百,很多人来到这里,在瓦沦丁的帮助下结成伴侣.
一对情侣在巴黎一个公园里的情侣墙前合影•这座用蓝色瓷砖镶嵌而
成的墙上,用全世界的不同文字写满了311个意为我爱你的句子.
消息终于传进了宫殿,传到了暴君的耳里.克劳多斯又一次暴跳如雷,他命令士兵们冲进神庙,将瓦伦丁从一对正在举行婚礼的新人身旁拖走,投入地牢•人们苦苦哀求暴君的劾免,但都徒劳而返.瓦伦丁终于在地牢里受尽折磨而死.悲伤的朋友们将他安葬于圣普拉(st.praxedes)
教堂•那一天是2月14日,那一年是公元270年.
另外还有一个版本.传说中瓦伦丁是最早的基督徒之一,那个时代做一
名基督徒意味着危险和死亡.为掩护其他殉教者,瓦伦丁被抓住,投入了监牢.在那里他治愈了典狱长女儿失明的双眼.当暴君听到着一奇迹时,
他感到非常害怕,于是将瓦伦丁斩首示众.据传说,在行刑的那一天早晨瓦伦丁给典狱长的女儿写了一封情意绵绵的告别信,落款是:
from
yourvalentine(寄自你的瓦伦丁)

情人节英语介绍】

关于情人节的起源有许多种说法。
有关人士认为情人节是一个名叫桑特瓦伦丁的人士发起的。
他是罗马人,因为拒绝放弃基督教而于公元前269年2月14日惨遭杀害,这一天也正好是全城盛行彩票抽奖的日子。
legendalsosaysthatst.valentineleftafarewellnoteforthejailersdaughter,whohadbecomehisfriend,andsigneditfromyourvalentine.otheraspectsofthestorysaythatsaintvalentineservedasapriestatthetempleduringthereignofemperorClaudius.Claudiusthenhadvalentinejailedfordefyinghim.in496a.d.popegelasiussetasidefebruary14tohonourst.valentine.而另外一种说法更具有传奇色彩,相传桑特
瓦伦丁曾留下一本日记给了狱卒的女儿,署名为你的情人”,据说这名狱卒的女儿就是桑特瓦伦丁的情人。
还有其它的说法也颇为有
趣。
比如说有人认为在克劳迪亚斯君王统治时期,桑特瓦仑丁曾经
是一名神父,因为公然挑战克劳迪亚斯君王的权威身陷囹圄。
所以公元前496年罗马教皇格莱西亚斯特意将2月14日作为一个特别的
日子以纪念桑特瓦伦丁。
gradually,february14becamethedateforexchanginglovemessagesandst.valentinebecamethepatronsaintoflovers.thedatewasmarkedbysendingpoemsandsimplegiftssuchasflowers.therewasoftenasocialgatheringoraball.
此后2月14日就成为了一个具有特殊意义的日子。
在这天人们向自己心仪的人传递信息以示爱意。
而理所当然的桑特瓦仑丁也就成为
了为恋爱中的男女们牵线搭桥的人。
在2月14日这天人们会特意做
诗或者用一些小礼物送给自己心爱的人。
而且人们还会组织各种各样的聚会来庆祝这个特殊的节日。

艾瑟霍兰德小姐是美国第一位因为发送情人节卡片而受到荣誉奖励的人。
早在19世纪初情人节就已处露商业化的端倪。
而如今情人节已经完全被商业化了。
比如每当每年2月14日来临的时候,一些城
镇如罗夫兰、克罗拉多等,这里的人们都要派送大量的为情人节特备的卡片。
而在这天人们往往吟歌做诗并且把这些写入卡片中送送
个自己喜欢的人以表达自己的爱意。
而在学校里孩子门也喜欢互增贺卡来度过这个特殊的节日。
久而久之就形成了一种习俗并且延续至今天.
