day he was executed(处死), the blind
girl planted an almond (杏树)tree
in front of his tomb(坟墓) to give
expression toher missing . And
this day is Valentine’s Day,
February 14th.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。Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint(守护神) of lovers.
