情人節的緣由英文解釋

『壹』 情人節的來歷(英文)

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries.
關於情人節的起源有許多種說法。有關人士認為情人節是一個名叫桑特 瓦倫丁的人士發起的。他是羅馬人，因為拒絕放棄基督教而於公元前269年2月14日慘遭殺害，這一天也正好是全城盛行彩票抽獎的日子。

Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple ring the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.
而另外一種說法更具有傳奇色彩，相傳桑特 瓦倫丁曾留下一本日記給了獄卒的女兒，署名為「你的情人」，據說這名獄卒的女兒就是桑特 瓦倫丁的情人。還有其它的說法也頗為有趣。比如說有人認為在克勞迪亞斯君王統治時期，桑特 瓦侖丁曾經是一名神父，因為公然挑戰克勞迪亞斯君王的權威身陷囹圄。所以公元前496年羅馬教皇格萊西亞斯特意將2月14日作為一個特別的日子以紀念桑特 瓦倫丁。

Graally, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ball.
此後2月14日就成為了一個具有特殊意義的日子。在這天人們向自己心儀的人傳遞信息以示愛意。而理所當然的桑特 瓦侖丁也就成為了為戀愛中的男女們牽線搭橋的人。在2月14日這天人們會特意做詩或者用一些小禮物送給自己心愛的人。而且人們還會組織各種各樣的聚會來慶祝這個特殊的節日。

In the United States, Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introced in the 1800's and now the date is very commercialised. The town of Loveland, Colorado, does a large post office business around February 14. The spirit of good continues as valentines are sent out with sentimental verses and children exchange valentine cards at school.
艾瑟 霍蘭德小姐是美國第一位因為發送情人節卡片而受到榮譽獎勵的人。早在19世紀初情人節就已處露商業化的端倪。而如今情人節已經完全被商業化了。 比如每當每年2月14日來臨的時候，一些城鎮如羅夫蘭、克羅拉多等，這里的人們都要派送大量的為情人節特備的卡片。 而在這天人們往往吟歌做詩並且把這些寫入卡片中送個自己喜歡的人以表達自己的愛意。而在學校里孩子門也喜歡互增賀卡來度過這個特殊的節日。久而久之就形成了一種習俗並且延續至今天。

『貳』 中國情人節的由來 英語的和中文的都要

The origin of Saint Valentine's Day （「情人節的由來」 英語）Love is in the air and the flowers are on their way 為什麼把玫瑰花香彌漫的那天叫Valentine's Day？ February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines. 二月作為浪漫的月份由來已久。在這個時節，空氣中彌漫著玫瑰花的芳香，影院里放映浪漫的電影，而愛情故事充斥了各種報紙和雜志。 On the 14th day, it is customary for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! 在2月14日這一天，男孩通常都要邀請女朋友共赴正餐。除此之外，男孩還要為女朋友買花和巧克力，為她寫詩，為她歌唱，甚至還要用玫瑰花瓣拼出女孩的名字。 This is the scene that greets you on Valentine's Day, named after Valentine who was a priest in third century Rome. When the emperor decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives, he banned marriage. 映入你眼簾的這幕情景就是情人節。情人節又名瓦倫丁節，是以公元三世紀一名羅馬牧師的名字命名的。當時的羅馬皇帝認為單身男人比有老婆的男人更適合當兵打仗，於是他下令禁止結婚。 But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor had him put to death..但是瓦倫丁繼續秘密地為年輕的愛人們舉行結婚儀式。當他的行為被發現後，皇帝判處瓦倫丁死刑。 While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed "From your Valentine", an expression that is still in use today. 據說在獄中，瓦倫丁與獄卒的女兒墜入愛河。臨死前，瓦倫丁給她寫了一封信，信中他簽上了「來自你的瓦倫丁」。這一措辭沿用至今。 Valentine died for what he believed in and so was made a Saint, as well as becoming one of history's most romantic figures. 瓦倫丁為他的信仰而犧牲，因而被奉為聖徒，並且成為歷史上最浪漫的人物之一。

『叄』 關於情人節的來歷(要用英文寫的)！！！！

In the third century, the Roman empire suffered from a general crisis, economic decline, the corruption of the ruling class, social unrest and people's resistance.

（公元3世紀，羅馬帝國出現全面危機，經濟凋敝，統治階級腐敗，社會動盪不安，人民紛紛反抗。）

In order to maintain their rule, the noble class brutally suppressed the people and christians. There was a Christian, valentine, who was put into prison.

（貴族階級為維護其統治，殘暴鎮壓民眾和基督教徒。是時有一位教徒瓦倫丁，被捕入獄。）

In prison, he touched the warden's daughter with his open heart.

（在獄中，他以坦誠之心打動了典獄長的女兒。）

They loved each other and were taken care of by the warden's daughter. The ruling class ordered his execution.

（他們相互愛慕，並得到典獄長女兒的照顧。統治階級下令將他執行死刑。）

『肆』 情人節的來歷(要中英文結合的)

情人節，又叫聖瓦倫丁節或聖華倫泰節（St. Valentine's Day），即每年的2月14日，是西方的傳統節日之一。男女在這一天互送巧克力、賀卡和花，用以表達愛意或友好。

關於情人節的起源，大致有2種不同說法：

說法一：

公元3世紀，羅馬帝國皇帝克勞迪烏斯二世在首都羅馬宣布廢棄所有的婚姻承諾，當時是出於戰爭的考慮，使更多無所牽掛的男人可以走上爭戰的疆場。一名叫瓦侖廷（Sanctus Valentinus）的神父沒有遵照這個旨意而繼續為相愛的年輕人舉行教堂婚禮。事情被告發後，瓦侖廷神父先是被鞭打，然後被石頭擲打，最後在公元270年2月14日這天被送上了絞架被絞死。14世紀以後，人們就開始紀念這個日子。現在，中文譯為「情人節」的這個日子，在西方國家裡就被稱為Valentine's Day，用以紀念那位為情人做主而犧牲的神父。

與此相關的其他傳說，包括這位神父幫助天主教徒從羅馬監獄里逃脫而被處死。

在這個神父在監獄里時，據說他送出了第一個「情人節」祝福。據說他愛上了曾來監獄看望他，獄長失明的女兒亞斯得莉斯，並奇跡地治好了她的眼睛，使之重見光明。在他臨刑前，給女孩一封信，署名「from your Valentine」（這個表達現在還在使用）。盡管這些傳說不真切，但是卻表達了他的富有同情心、英雄氣概、以及最重要的浪漫主義的人格。

說法二：

來源於古羅馬的牧神節（Lupercalia Festival）

這個說法是基督教會慶祝這一天是為了把古羅馬的牧神節（每年的2月15日慶祝，為了保佑人、田、牲畜的生產力）基督教化。在古羅馬，2月春天的開始，被認為是純潔的。按照一定的儀式打掃房屋，然後把鹽水和一種小麥灑遍房間。

牧神節，是為了慶祝羅馬的農神Faunus 和羅馬的奠基人Romulus和Remus。這個節日開始時，Luperci的成員（也就是羅馬祭司的一種）會聚集在一個神聖的山洞裡。這個山洞被認為是還是嬰兒的Romulus和Remus待過的地方。在這個洞里，他們由一頭母狼，lupa，照料。祭司們會犧牲一頭羊，為了生殖；一隻狗，為了純潔。

然後男孩子會把羊的皮撕成小條，蘸上神聖的血後，跑到街上用它輕輕的抽打女人和田裡的莊稼。羅馬的女人不僅不會害怕，反而會樂意被羊皮條接觸，因為據說這樣她們在這一年裡就會生殖力旺盛。後來，根據傳說，這個城市所有的女人會把自己的名字放到一個花瓶里。單身漢們會從裡面選一個。這樣這一年裡，他們就是一對。通常他們會結婚。

教皇在大約公元498年宣布2月14日是情人節。羅馬人的這種婚配方式被基督教徒認為是不合法的。中世紀時，在英國和法國，通常認為2月14日是鳥交配的季節。因此就把此日增加了一個內容，那就是它應該是一個浪漫的日子。最早的情人節禮物是奧爾良的公爵，查理斯在倫敦塔獄中寫給他妻子的詩。因為他在Agincourt戰役中被俘虜了。現在這個寫於1415年的祝福被收藏在倫敦的大英博物館。幾年以後，英皇亨利五世雇John Lydgate寫了一首曲子給Catherine of Valois作為情人節禮物。
Saint Valentine's Day or Valentine's Day is on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other; sending Valentine's cards or candy. It is very common to present flowers on Valentine's Day. The holiday is named after two men, both Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-proced greeting cards. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.[1]

In the United States, the marketing of Valentine's Day has tagged it as a "Hallmark holiday." A recent trend has been to refer to February 14 as Singles Awareness Day.
At least three early Christian Roman martyrs named Valentinus are known (see Saint Valentine for more details). In the two most prominent Valentinus traditions, represented by late fictionalized acta that were both included in Bede, the martyrs were venerated on the same day, February 14, though the years, as they represent two traditions, varied according to the source.[2] An overview of attested traditions relevant to the holiday is presented below, with the legends about Valentine himself discussed in the end.

[edit] February fertility festivals
It has been hypothesised [specify][citation needed] that Graeco-Roman holidays devoted to fertility and love might be related to St Valentine's Day, since there is some correspondence between the time when they were celebrated.

On the ancient Athenian calendar, the period between mid-January and mid-February was the month of Gamelion, dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera.

In Ancient Rome, February 15 was Lupercalia. Plutarch wrote:

Lupercalia, of which many write that it was anciently celebrated by shepherds, and has also some connection with the Arcadian Lycaea. At this time many of the noble youths and of the magistrates run up and down through the city naked, for sport and laughter striking those they meet with shaggy thongs. And many women of rank also purposely get in their way, and like children at school present their hands to be struck, believing that the pregnant will thus be helped in delivery, and the barren to pregnancy.[5]

The word Lupercalia comes from lupus, or wolf, so the holiday may be connected with the legendary wolf that suckled Romulus and Remus. Priests of this cult, luperci would travel to the lupercal, the cave where the she-wolf who reared Romulus and Remus allegedly lived, and sacrifice animals (two goats and a dog). The blood would then be scattered in the streets, to bring fertility and keep the wolves away from the fields. [6] Lupercalia was a festival local to the city of Rome. The more general Festival of Juno Februa, meaning "Juno the purifier "or "the chaste Juno," was celebrated on February 13-14. Pope Gelasius I (492-496) abolished Lupercalia. Some historians [specify][citation needed] argue that Candlemas (then held on February 14, later moved to February 2) was promoted as its replacement, but this feast was already being celebrated in Jerusalem by AD 381. The pope also declared in 496 that the feast of St. Valentine would be on February 14.

[edit] Chaucer's love birds

A portrait of English poet Geoffrey Chaucer by Thomas Hoccleve (1412). The earliest known link between Valentine's Day and romance is found in Chaucer's poetry.The first recorded association of Valentine's Day with romantic love is in Parlement of Foules (1382) by Geoffrey Chaucer:[3]

For this was on seynt Volantynys day
Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese [choose] his make [mate].
This poem was written to honor the first anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia[7]. A treaty providing for a marriage was signed on May 2, 1381.[8] (When they were married eight months later, he was 13 or 14. She was 14.)

On the liturgical calendar, May 2 is the saints' day for Valentine of Genoa. This St. Valentine was an early bishop of Genoa who died around AD 307.[9][10] Readers incorrectly assumed that Chaucer was referring to February 14 as Valentine's Day. However, mid-February is an unlikely time for birds to be mating in England.[4]

Chaucer's Parliament of Foules is generally set in a supposed context of an old tradition, but in fact there was no such tradition before Chaucer. The speculative explanation of sentimental customs, posing as historical fact, had their origins among eighteenth-century antiquaries, notably Alban Butler, the author of Butler's Lives of Saints, and have been perpetuated even by respectable modern scholars. Most notably, "the idea that Valentin'e Day customed perpetuated those of the Roman Lupercalia has been accepted uncritically and repeated, in various forms, up to the present"[5]

[edit] Medieval and modern times

Swedish calendar showing St Valentine's Day, February 14, 1712Using the language of the law courts for the rituals of courtly love, a "High Court of Love" was established in Paris on Valentine's Day in 1400. The court dealt with love contracts, betrayals, and violence against women. Judges were selected by women on the basis of a poetry reading.[11][12]

The earliest surviving valentine is a fifteenth-century rondeau written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his "valentined" wife, which commences.

Je suis desja d'amour tanné
Ma tres doulce Valentinée… (Charles d'Orléans, Rondeau VI, lines 1–2)

At the time, the ke was being held in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt, 1415.[6]

Valentine's Day is mentioned ruefully by Ophelia in Hamlet (1600-01): "Tomorrow is Saint Valentine's Day."

In 1836, relics of St. Valentine of Rome were donated by Pope Gregory XVI to the Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland. In the 1960s, the church was renovated and relics restored to prominence.[13]

In the 1969 revision of the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints, the feastday of Saint Valentine on 14 February was removed from the General Roman Calendar and relegated to particular (local or even national) calendars for the following reason: "Though the memorial of Saint Valentine is ancient, it is left to particular calendars, since, apart from his name, nothing is known of Saint Valentine except that he was buried on the Via Flaminia on 14 February."[7] The feast day is still celebrated in Balzan and in Malta where relics of the saint are claimed to be found, and also throughout the world by Traditionalist Catholics who follow the older, pre-Vatican II calendar.

Valentine's Day postcard, circa 1910
Tree decorated for Valentine's DayValentine's Day was probably imported into North America in the 19th century by British settlers. In the United States, the first mass-proced valentines of embossed paper lace were proced and sold shortly after 1847 by Esther Howland (1828-1904) of Worcester, Massachusetts. Her father operated a large book and stationery store, and she took her inspiration from an English valentine she had received. Since 2001, the Greeting Card Association has been giving an annual "Esther Howland Award for a Greeting Card Visionary."

In the second half of the twentieth century, the practice of exchanging cards was extended to all manner of gifts in the United States, usually from a man to a woman. Such gifts typically include roses and chocolates. In the 1980s, the diamond instry began to promote Valentine's Day as an occasion for giving jewelry.

The day has come to be associated with a generic platonic greeting of "Happy Valentine's Day."

In some North American elementary schools, students are asked to give a Valentine card or small gift to everyone in the class. The greeting cards of these students often mention what they appreciate about each other.

[edit] The evolving legend
The Early Medieval acta of either Saint Valentine were excerpted by Bede and briefly expounded in Legenda Aurea,[8] According to that version, St Valentine was persecuted as a Christian and interrogated by Roman Emperor Claudius II in person. Claudius was impressed by Valentine and had a discussion with him, attempting to get him to convert to Roman paganism in order to save his life. Valentine refused and tried to convert Claudius to Christianity instead. Because of this, he was executed. Before his execution, he is reported to have performed a miracle by healing the blind daughter of his jailer.

Legenda Aurea still providing no connections whatsoever with sentimental love, appropriate lore has been embroidered in modern times to portray Valentine as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail. On the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he wrote the first "valentine" himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved,[9] as the jailer's daughter whom he had befriended and healed,[10] or both.[11] It was a note that read "From your Valentine."[9]

In another apparently modern embellishment[citation needed], while Valentine was imprisoned, people would leave him little notes, folded up and hidden in cracks in the rocks around his cell. He would find them and offer prayers for them.

情人節的由來

Valentine's Day originated in Rome. There are many versions of the legend, but the most romantic and credible are the following.

情人節最早的起源於羅馬。關於它的傳說有多種版本，但最為浪漫和可信的是如下一版。

Legend has it that in third Century, the ancient Rome had a tyrant called Klau Dos. Not far from the tyrant's palace, has a very beautiful temple, friar Valentin lived here. Valentine knowledgeable, noble morality, Rome are very revered him, men, women and children, without distinction, the like cluster around him, in the raging flame before the altar, listening to his prayers.

相傳在公元3世紀時，古羅馬有一位暴君叫克勞多斯。離暴君的宮殿不遠，有一座非常漂亮的神廟，修士瓦倫丁就住在這里。瓦倫丁學識淵博、品德高尚，羅馬人非常崇敬他，男女老幼不分貴賤，都喜歡群集在他周圍，在祭壇的熊熊聖火前，聆聽他的祈禱。

Then the Roman has continued fighting in to replenish manpower, fighting to the end, Claudius ordered, who within the age range of a certain men, must enter the Roman army, life for the despotic political system service. So, a large number of citizens were forced to go to the battlefield, people complaining, husband who do not want to leave home, boys can not bear to break up with a lover, the Roman shrouded in lingering and melancholy of Acacia in.

However, Valentine's charity soon will be perceived by the court, Claudius once again fly into a rage, he ordered his men to rush into the temple, from a pair of being held wedding couple side valentine to drag away, put in prison. Klau Dos was asked to pardon Valentin, but to no avail.

然而，暴政卻禁止不了愛情。一天，一對情侶悄悄地來到神廟里，請求瓦倫丁為他們主持婚禮。瓦倫丁被他們堅貞的愛情深深地打動了，便在神聖的祭壇前冒險為他們舉行了婚禮。這消息一傳十、十傳百，許多年輕人紛紛來到這里，在瓦倫丁的幫助下結成伴侶。然而，瓦倫丁的善舉不久便被宮廷所察覺，克勞多斯又一次暴跳如雷，他命令士兵沖進神廟，將瓦倫丁從一對正在舉行婚禮的新人身旁拖走，投入監獄。人們苦苦哀求克勞多斯赦免瓦倫丁，但都無濟於事。在獄中，瓦倫丁沒有因為自己的遭遇而感到後悔，更沒有停止自己的善行，不過，這時他使用的不再是祈禱文，而是醫術。在那裡，他奇跡般地治癒了典獄長女兒失明的雙眼，並且深深地愛上了她。暴君克勞多斯聽到這一奇跡後，感到非常害怕，匆忙下令將瓦倫丁斬首示眾。行刑的那天早晨，瓦倫丁給典獄長的女兒寫了一封情意綿綿的告別信，然後走上刑場。

This day is the February 14th ad 270. Since then, in order to commemorate the kind-hearted friar Valentin, people will be in February 14th as the "Valentine's day".

這一天是公元270年2月14日。自此以後，為了紀念這位心地善良的瓦倫丁修士，人們便將2月14日定為「情人節」。

『捌』 情人節的由來

傳說一 在古羅馬時期，二月十四日是為表示對約娜的尊敬而設的節日。約娜是羅馬眾神的皇後，羅馬人同時將她尊奉為婦女和婚姻之神。接下來的二月十五日則被稱為「盧帕撒拉節」，是用來對約娜治下的其他眾神表示尊敬的節日。 在古羅馬，年輕人和少女的生活是被嚴格分開的。然而，在盧帕撒拉節，小夥子們可以選擇一個自己心愛的姑娘的名字刻在花瓶上。這樣，過節的時候，小夥子就可以與自己選擇的姑娘一起跳舞，慶祝節日。如果被選中的姑娘也對小夥子有意的話，他們便可一直配對，而且最終他們會墜入愛河並一起步入教堂結婚。後人為此而將每年的二月十四日定為情人節。 傳說二 情人節在英語里的叫法是St.ValentinesDay（原意為：「聖瓦倫丁節」）。從字面上來看，很難看出中西方叫法之間有什麼聯系。這裡面隱藏著一個動人的故事。公元三世紀時，古羅馬有一位暴君叫克勞多斯（Claudius）。當時，古羅馬內外戰爭頻仍，為了補足兵員，暴君下令：凡是一定年齡的男子，都必須進入軍隊為國家效勞。自此，丈夫離開妻子，少年離開戀人，整個羅馬籠罩在綿長的相思中。然而，暴政禁止不了愛情。離暴君的宮殿不遠，有一座非常漂亮的神廟。修士瓦淪丁（Valentine）就住在這里。羅馬人非常崇敬他，男女老幼，不論貧富貴賤，總會群集在他的周圍，在祭壇的熊熊聖火前，聆聽瓦淪丁的祈禱。 古羅馬的戰事一直連綿不斷，暴君克勞多斯徵召了大批公民前往戰場，人們怨聲載道。男人們不願意離開家庭，小夥子們不忍與情人分開。克勞多斯暴跳如雷，他傳令人們不許舉行婚禮，甚至連所有已訂了婚的也馬上要解除婚約。許多年輕人就這樣告別愛人，悲憤地走向戰場。年輕的姑娘們也由於失去愛侶，抑鬱神傷。 瓦倫丁對暴君的虐行感到非常難過。當一對情侶來到神廟請求他的幫助時，瓦倫帝尼在神聖的祭壇前為它們悄悄地舉行了婚禮。人們一傳十，十傳百，很多人來到這里，在瓦淪丁的幫助下結成伴侶。消息終於傳進了宮殿，傳到了暴君的耳里。克勞多斯又一次暴跳如雷，他命令士兵們沖進神廟，將瓦淪丁從一對正在舉行婚禮的新人身旁拖走，投入地牢。人們苦苦哀求暴君的劾免，但都徒勞而返。瓦淪丁終於在地牢里受盡折磨而死。 悲傷的朋友們將他安葬於聖普拉教堂。那一天是2月14日，那一年是公元270年。 傳說三 傳說中瓦倫丁是最早的基督 徒之一，那個時代做一名基督 徒意味著危險和死亡。為掩護其他殉教者，瓦淪丁被抓住，投入了監牢。在那裡他治癒了典獄長女兒失明的雙眼。當暴君聽到著一奇跡時，他感到非常害怕，於是將瓦淪丁斬首示眾。據傳說，在行刑的那一天早晨，瓦淪丁給典獄長的女兒寫了一封情意綿綿的告別信，落款是：FromyourValentine（寄自你的瓦倫丁）。當天，盲女在他墓前種了一棵開紅花的杏樹，以寄託自己的情思，這一天就是2月14日。 自此以後，基督 教便把2月14日定為情人節。 傳說四 歷史學家們更願意刨根揪底，他們關於情人節的.演繹似乎令人信服。其實遠遠早於公元270年，當羅馬城剛剛奠基時，周圍還是一片荒野，成群的狼四處游盪。在羅馬人崇拜的眾神中，畜牧神盧波庫斯掌管著對牧羊人和羊群的保護。每年二月中，羅馬人會舉行盛大的典禮來慶祝牧神節。那時的日歷與現在相比，要稍微晚一些，所以牧神節實際上是對即將來臨的春天的慶祝。也有人說這個節日是慶祝法烏努斯神，它類似於古希臘人身羊足，頭上有角的潘神，主管畜牧和農業。 牧神節的起源實在是過於久遠了，連公元前一世紀的學者們都無法確認。但是這一節日的重要性是不容置疑的。 例如史料記載，安東尼就是在公元前44年的牧神節上將王冠授與凱撒的。 每年的二月十五日，修士們會聚集在羅馬城中巴淪丁山上的一個洞穴旁，據說在這里，古羅馬城的奠基者被一隻母狼扶育長大。在節日的各項慶典中，有一項是年輕的貴族們，手持羊皮鞭，在街道上奔跑。年輕婦女們會聚集在街道兩旁，祈望羊皮鞭抽打到她們頭上。人們相信這樣會使她們更容易生兒育女。在拉丁語中，羊皮鞭被叫做februa，鞭打叫做fabruatio，實際上都含有「純潔」的意思。二月的單詞（February）就是由此而來。 隨著羅馬勢力在歐洲的擴張，牧神節的習俗被帶到了現在的法國和英國等地。人們最樂此不疲的一項節日活動類似於摸彩。年輕女子們的名字被放置於盒子內，然後年輕男子上前抽取。抽中的一對男女成為情人，時間是一年或更長。 基督 教的興起使人們紀念眾神的習俗逐漸淡漠。教士們不希望人們放棄節日的歡樂，於是將牧神節（Lupercalia）改成瓦淪丁節，並移至02月14日。這樣，關於瓦淪丁修士的傳說和古老的節日就被自然地結合在一起。這一節日在中世紀的英國最為流行。未婚男女的名字被抽出後，他們會互相交換禮物，女子在這一年內成為男子的Valentine。在男子的衣袖上會綉上女子的名字，照顧和保護該女子於是成為該男子的神聖職責。 教皇在大約公元498年宣布2月14日是情人節。羅馬人的這種婚配方式被基督 教徒認為是不合法的。中世紀時，在英國和法國，通常認為2月14日是鳥交 配的季節。因此就把此日增加了一個內容，那就是它應該是一個浪漫的日子。最早的情人節禮物是奧爾良的公爵，查理斯在倫敦塔獄中寫給他妻子的詩。因為他在Agincourt戰役中被俘虜了。現在這個寫於1415年的祝福被收藏在倫敦的大英博物館。幾年以後，英皇亨利五世雇JohnLydgate寫了一首曲子給CatherineofValois作為情人節禮物。 情人節的由來2 2月14情人節咋來的? 在中國，傳統節日之一的七夕節也是姑娘們重視的日子，因此而被稱為中國的情人節。由於能表達共同的人類情懷，各國各地紛紛發掘了自身的「情人節」。那麼2月14情人節由來是什麼呢? 每年的2月14日，是西方國家的傳統節日之一，起源於基督 教。 2月14日情人節又叫聖瓦倫丁節或聖華倫泰節，這是一個關於愛、浪漫以及花、巧克力、賀卡的節日，男女在這一天互送禮物用以表達愛意或友好。情人節的晚餐約會通常代表了情侶關系的發展關鍵。現已成為歐美各國青年人喜愛的節日，其他國家也已開始流行。（情感問題咨詢可加導師/信：） 2月14情人節由來有很多版本，說起情人節，他的英文原名就有意思了，是「Valentine『s Day」很明顯不是情人的意思，直譯過來應該是只是個人名，譯成瓦倫丁，或華倫泰。原讀音比較接近「瓦倫泰」。至於為什麼會有這樣一個節日，他又跟愛情到底有什麼關系，那傳說可就太多了! 版本一 ：傳說，古羅馬皇帝不準情侶結婚，以讓更多年輕人無牽無掛上戰場。但神父瓦倫丁仍然繼續為相愛的情侶舉行教堂婚禮。結果，他在2月14日被處以絞刑。後來，人們用Valentines Day，來紀念這位為情侶做主而犧牲的神父。 版本二 ：據說，在西方宗教史上曾經有過兩個Valentine，一個是羅馬牧師，一個是特尼主教。羅馬牧師由於救助基督 教信徒被高特王朝的克勞迪奧大帝關押。關押期間，他改變了信仰，並設法使獄吏的女兒恢復了視力。雖然如此，最終還是在公元269(或270)年2月14日被殺了。在羅馬牧師死後沒幾年，特尼主教不知因為什麼也入了獄，並且也在2月14日被殺了頭。為了紀念這兩位教士，於是這一天便成了基督 教的聖瓦倫丁紀念日。 版本三 ：瓦倫丁紀念日之所以成為「情人節」，其原因目前西方學術界有兩種解釋。一種是由於古羅馬的牧神節逐漸由已婚婦女企求牧神祭司鞭抽。以治不孕之症演變成為情人互相祝福後，便與瓦倫丁節合而為一;另一種解釋是古代人認為2月14日是百鳥發情擇偶的開始，人們推鳥及人，便認為青年男女也應該在這一天擇定佳偶，或者至少應互相致以的祝願，表明心跡。由於這一天正好是瓦倫丁節，人們便沿用了瓦倫丁這個字。久而久之，「瓦倫丁」這個字便成為「情人」的代名詞了。 版本四 ：這種說法里，情人節仍然是起源於古代羅馬，當時2月14日是為表示對約娜的尊敬而設的節日。約娜是羅馬眾神的皇後，羅馬人同時將她尊奉為婦女和婚姻之神。接下來的2月15日則被稱為「盧帕撒拉節」，是用來對約娜治下的其他眾神表示尊敬的節日。為了紀念這位掌管自然及女子婚姻的神，於是這一天便於愛情聯系了起來。 情人節的由來3 西方情人節幾月幾日？ 情人節又叫聖瓦倫丁節或聖華倫泰節，即每年的2月14日，是西方的傳統節日之一。這是一個關於愛、浪漫以及花、巧克力、賀卡的節日 男女在這一天互送禮物用以表達愛意或友好。現已成為歐美各國青年人喜愛的節日，其他國家也已開始流行。 中國情人節幾月幾日？ 而在中國，傳統節日之一的七夕節也是姑娘們重視的日子，因此而被稱為中國的情人節。由於能表達共同的人類情懷，各國各地紛紛發掘了自身的「情人節」。 七夕情人節的由來： 七夕，傳統的中國情人節之一，傳說是牛郎與織女一年一度在喜鵠橋重逢的日子。 在我國，農歷七月初七這一天是人們俗稱的七夕節，也有人稱之為「乞左節「、「七橋節「、「女兒節「或「七夕情人節「。這是中國傳統節日中浪漫色彩的一個節日，也是過去姑娘們最為重視的日子。 人們傳說在七夕的夜院拾頭可以看到牛郎織女的銀河相會。或在瓜果架下可偷聽到兩人在天上相會時的脈脈情話。 「七夕「最早來源於人們對自然的岫拜。從歷史文獻上看，至少在三四千年前，隨蓮人們對天文的認識和紡織技術的產生，有關牽牛星織女星的記載就有了。人們對星星的岫拜遠不止是奉牛星和織女星。他們認為東西南北各有七顆代表方位的星星，合稱二十八宿，其中以北斗七星最亮，可供夜間辨別方向。北斗七星的第一顆星叫魁星，又稱魁首。後來，有了科舉制度，中狀元叫「大魁天下士「，讀書人把七夕叫「魁星節「，叉稱「曬書節「，保持了最早七夕來源於星宿岫拜的痕跡。 相傳牛郎父母早逝，又常受到哥媲的虐待，只有一頭老牛相伴。有一天老牛給他出了計謀，要娶織女做妻子。到了那一天，美麗的仙女們果然到銀河沐浴，並在水中嬉戲。這時藏在蘆葦中的牛郎突然跑出來拿走了織女的衣裳。驚惶失措的仙女們急忙上岸奐好衣裁飛走了，唯獨剩下織女。在牛郎的息求下，織女答應做他的妻子。嫣後，牛郎織女町耕女織，相親相愛「生活得十分幸福美滿。織女還給牛郎生了一兒一女。後來老牛要死去的時候，叮囑牛郎要把它的皮留下來，到急難時披上以求幫助。老牛死後，夫妻倆忍痛剝下牛皮，把牛埋在山坡上。
