Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, whose full name is Saint Valentine's Day. It is a holiday to honor a Christian priest named Saint Valentine. It`s said that at that time, the emperor in Rome didn`t allow his soldier to get married, but Valentine helped them hold wedding ceremonies. Therefore, he was thrown into prison. What he did moved his warder and his blind daughter and they treated him well. Before his death, he wrote a letter to show his love to the blind girl. After he died, the blind girl plant a apricot tree with red flowers before his tomb to tell him how much she loved him. This day when he died was 14 Feb, which become Valentine's Day.
In Valentine's Day, the young lovers always give gifts to each other to show their love. The gifts always include chocolates, roses and diamonds. Also, a lot of people choose to get married at Valentine's Day.
Somebady says that if you are single, you should look outside as soon as you get up at Valentine's Day. It`s because that if you see a man walking alone, you will be single in this year; if you see more than one person, you can find your lover in this year; if you see one rooster and a hen, you will get married before Christmas. Nowadays it`s hard to see roosters or hens, pigeons and sparrows can be used to take the place of them.
At last, I hope everyone can find his or her lover.
