每年2月14日，是西方傳統(tǒng)的圣瓦倫丁節(jié)，又稱“情人節(jié)”。它具有悠久的歷史。古羅馬 時代的牧神節(jié)，就是一個情侶們的節(jié)日。是日男女青年可以歡聚一堂。

姑娘們把表達愛情 的祝辭放在簽筒里，小伙子依次抽簽，抽到哪位姑娘的祝辭，那位姑娘就成為他的戀人。 基督教興起，教會對牧神節(jié)風俗很不以為然。但由于這個節(jié)日受到青年人的偏愛，所 以仍然延續(xù)了下來。到公元7世紀，教會領袖希望把這節(jié)日同基督教聯(lián)系在一起，于是他 們用基督教殉教者瓦倫丁的名字為這個節(jié)日重新命名，并把日期由原來的2月15日改為2月 14日。翻閱早期基督教殉教史，可以找到三個叫瓦倫丁的殉教者，其中一個是公元3世紀的 主教。

當時羅馬皇帝認為已婚男子都不愿離家當兵，即使上了戰(zhàn)場也不會成為一個好兵， 因此發(fā)布了一道禁止結婚的法令瓦倫丁對此十分憂慮，他違背皇帝的旨意，秘密地為青年 人舉行婚禮，因此遭到監(jiān)禁，于公元271年2刀14日死于獄中.經(jīng)過幾世紀的漫長歲月，瓦倫丁節(jié)的慶祝方式發(fā)生了不少變化。

在16世紀的英國，瓦 倫丁節(jié)的風俗十分奇特有趣。隨著新大陸的開發(fā)，英國移民又把這一極富有浪漫色彩的節(jié) 日帶到了北美，逐漸成為美國人喜愛的節(jié)日之一。在美國，瓦倫丁節(jié)已不僅是青年入的節(jié)日。親人朋友之間，不論年齡大小，都可以互 送小禮品以表達感情，增進友誼。美國有不少商店專門出售這類禮品。如裝飾成心形的高 級巧克力糖盒，或者系著紅緞帶的郁金香花束等。至于各式各樣飾有花邊、灑上香水的情 人卡，更是比比皆是。 當然，年青人才是瓦倫丁節(jié)真正當之無愧的主角。他們在這一天鄭重其事地為戀人選 擇禮物，興高采烈地伴同朋友去郊游：或者成雙成對地去參加由俱樂部組織的情人舞會。 特別有趣的是，那些心靈手巧的小伙子常常想方設法把向姑娘求愛的瓦倫丁節(jié)問候卡制成 玲攏精制的工藝品，有的仿佛是一只美麗的蝴蝶，有的宛若一朵盛開的鮮花：還有的恰似 愛神丘比特正在彎弓射箭。

那些癡情的姑娘則按照傳統(tǒng)習俗，在瓦倫丁節(jié)前夜把月桂樹葉 放在枕頭上，盼望著在夢中同自己的心上人相會。 特別引人入勝的是情人節(jié)之夜的化裝舞會。這在幾十年前就十分流行。參加舞會的入 ，個個煞費苦心地將自己裝扮起來，有的化裝成中世紀的騎士，有的化裝成西班牙的海盜 ，還有的化裝成東方的皇帝。聰明的舞會主人常常給每位客人發(fā)，個帶花邊的瓦倫丁卡片 ，上面寫著某個人的名字，這個人就成為你今晚的伙伴。因此在舞會上，人們便可以看到羅密歐和灰姑娘翩翩起舞;哈姆雷特同卡門談笑風生;阿拉伯公主同查理二世共進晚餐。 他們化裝得那樣維妙維肖.使人覺得仿佛真的是一群古人復活了。 瓦倫丁節(jié)就是這樣一個充滿愛情和友誼的歡樂節(jié)日。
