Valentine's Day is the day when the whole world honors the passion of love. Today, young people express their love with flowers, chocolates, and especially proposals along with the wedding ring. It can be said that Valentine's Day and the wedding ring are too familiar to Vietnamese people. But why is it called Valentine's Day today? A saint from the Christian faith and the wedding ring has become a symbol of love. Today, I would like to invite the audience of Đồng Tây Kim Cổ to find out the origin, deep meaning of Valentine's Day and the wedding ring. Valentine's Day To understand the story of Valentine's Day, let's go back to the crusade of the Roman Empire. At that time, the Roman Empire was the most powerful country in the West and also the country that suppressed the most brutal Catholicism. To incite the hatred of their people towards Catholicism, some Roman scholars in the modern era have created a lot of slander, slander, deception, aiming at Catholicism such as killing newborn babies to drink blood and eat meat, chaos, corruption, etc. In general, all the crimes of the Roman society in the modern era are related to Catholicism. The Roman emperors also continuously issued cruel punishments to Catholicism. Nero, one of the most brutal emperors of the Roman Empire, once ordered to catch as few Catholics as possible and throw them into the arena to appease the chaos of the people when they saw the Catholics being tortured, killed and eaten. Nero even ordered his subordinates to catch as many Catholics as possible and throw them into the dry grass to replace the lamps in the garden. When it was dark, the lamps were lit up, shining all over the palace for everyone to enjoy. Emperor Aurelius also harmed the Catholics in a very brutal way. According to the description of the monk Xav, the corpses of those who died for the island spread all over the streets. Those corpses, after being destroyed, were left for the rest to be thrown into the lake which they called the enemy of the gods. In 250 AD, Emperor Decius issued an order to force the Catholics to choose the day of repentance and renounce their religion. Otherwise, they would be executed by the local governor. Those who did not believe in the Catholicism would be punished as slaves or be exiled to the land. The strongest person would be executed. As for the common people, the situation was getting worse. In 303 AD, Emperor Diocletian issued an order to suppress the biggest religion of all time. Many violent acts such as the abolition of religion, the abolition of monasticism and the murder of priests took place. Contrary to the violence of the leaders of the Lamas, the religious leaders followed the moral teachings of Jesus Christ. They went to the battlefield to see how they could destroy the law and destroy their slaves unconditionally. The simple and simple life of the religious leaders has made a big difference to the faraway, isolated atmosphere of the modern society. After hundreds of years, they used their lives to prove the truth of Jesus. Finally, the Lamas were enlightened. They gradually believed in Jesus and the beautiful things that Jesus had given them. The population of the Lamas grew and expanded. Despite the brutal oppression of the government, the important things such as salvation, the people of the Lamas wanted to be witnessed by the Lord and to be crucified through the priests. At that time, Emperor Claudius wanted to build a strong army. He wanted all men to join the army. But most people did not want war. They did not want to kill each other and leave their families. There were many people who did not join the army. This made Emperor Claudius very angry. He thought that if men did not get married, they would not object to joining the army. So he decided not to allow any men to get married. Of course, this law could not be implemented. The Lamas still married in secret and under the witness of the Lord through the priests. St. Valentine was one of the people who stood up for many men and women. In a small space with a candle, only the bride and groom, St. Valentine prayed for their happiness. Outside was the sound of footsteps from the soldiers of the Emperor. One night, when they were having a wedding for a young couple, St. Valentine was arrested. He was taken to court and sentenced to death. He spent his days in prison waiting for his sentence. He always lived a happy life, making the Lamas happy and respectful. There is a story that the night before St. Valentine was arrested, a Lama soldier asked him to sing for him and the girl he loved. St. Valentine prayed for the young couple and something unexpected happened. The girl's face was bright again. The next day, before the wedding, St. Valentine left a letter for the girl and the Lama and wrote under the letter the love of St. Valentine for the girl. So, Valentine's Day contains a lot of content. It's not just a promise to be a couple, but also the protection and the official love of the Lama with countless sacrifices for others and for the truth. Valentine's Day is the awakening of humanity to be grateful and grateful for the sacrifices of religious leaders. The origin of the deep meaning of the wedding ring The wedding ring is one of the indispensable items in the grand wedding to mark the new path of the couple. It is a symbol of the bond between two people to help couples value their marriage more. Unlike Valentine's Day, the origin of the wedding ring has a much longer history originating from ancient Greece. Ancient Greece is the center of Western civilization. The Greek mythology is the place where the origins of the world are recorded, the power of the gods, the generations of people, the origin of human handiwork, and the origin of the rituals. We know a lot about the rituals, the rituals, the rituals, the idioms of the Westerners today from the Greek mythology. The origin of the wedding ring is related to the story of the god Prometheus. In Greek mythology, Prometheus means the one who knows the future, is a giant god, the son of Lapertus and Themis, the brothers of Atlas, Epimetheus and Meneteus. Prometheus was born with a vision, wisdom and creativity. That's why Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus were given the mission to create a kind, two people used clay mixed with water to make it. While his brother was making the shape of a creature, Prometheus had not yet completed his first work. He wanted his creature to have something different from the others. So he created a model of the gods on Olympus. At first, it was just clay figures, then Prometheus poured his soul into it to make it have his wisdom. That's why humans are different from other creatures because they have their own wisdom. That's why Prometheus is considered the ancestor of the Westerners, similar to the Chinese goddess Hua. This kind of creature has a very difficult life because humans are too weak to survive and protect themselves from the wind, storm and the threat of big, strong, poisonous, and powerful monsters. God Prometheus loves humans very much and always finds a way to make humans less miserable. He hid the food brought to humans from the gods Hephaestus and Athena to make humans stronger. But that cannot solve the fundamental problem of human life. So Prometheus stole the fire from Apollo and gave it to humans. With fire, humans can cook and hunt and resist the cold of winter. We can say that fire has a very important role in the early ages of mankind. The fire, which is a sacred treasure of the gods, is highly respected by God Zeus. So Prometheus's action made God Zeus very angry and ordered Prometheus to build a cave in Caucasus, where he tied Prometheus with a rope and let a giant eat his liver every day. Prometheus, who was an immortal god, ate his liver every day and was reborn at night. Day after day, Prometheus's torture was extremely painful. Because Prometheus was a god of the future, Heraclius, in a miracle, stole the golden apples of his sister Hesperides in need of his help. Heraclius, who had come to the top of the mountain of Caucasus, tried to kill Prometheus and broke the rope to free him. Prometheus was freed and told Heraclius that he could not Even so, Prometheus was freed also in the mercy of God Zeus. When he was hanged, Prometheus and Zeus knew that one of the children would kill him, but they did not say who that child was. To avoid the same thing happened to his father and grandfather, God Zeus knew that only by freeing Prometheus would Heraclius be able to save Prometheus. On the other hand, God Zeus had ordered Prometheus to be chained to the mountain forever, so he asked the god of Zen, Herphaestus, to make a small ring with a piece of stone for Prometheus to wear on his finger so that when Prometheus wore that ring, he would still be chained to the mountain. The ring that Prometheus wore was the first ring of mankind. Its original meaning was the eternal captivity with the meaning of Prometheus being chained to the mountain forever. Prometheus is a very respected Greek god. The image of this god is often associated with noble and noble things. Heraclius, just to save Prometheus, had become a guardian god of man. In Western literature, the reader often meets the quote of Prometheus, the fire of Prometheus, the spirit of Prometheus, to talk about the spirit of unyielding will. The ring, the punishment that Prometheus had to bear when he set fire to the civilization of mankind, became a symbol of the divine bondage, very suitable to become the object of the couple. The ring has a different deep meaning to the Western people. When the couple married, the ring was also a way for the couple to connect with their ancestor. Prometheus was considered the ancestor of the Western people to be the ancestor of justice and justice for mankind, at the same time, the fire of Prometheus was lit in their hearts to overcome the challenges in life together.
