全文翻譯
圣瓦倫丁節(即，情人節)可能源自古羅馬的牧神節。當兇猛的狼群在四周游蕩時，古老的羅馬人請求牧神盧帕克斯來幫助他們。一個向該神表達敬意的節日于2月15日舉行。在這個節日的前夕女孩們的名字被寫在紙條上并放入罐中。每位年輕的男子都抽一張紙條，被抽中名字的女孩在未來一年中將成為他的戀人。
傳說這個節日之所以成為圣瓦倫丁節是為了紀念一位名叫瓦倫丁的羅馬牧師。國王克勞底斯二世命令羅馬士兵不得結婚或訂婚。克勞底斯認為結了婚的士兵更愿意留守家中而不是上戰場。當瓦倫丁違抗了國王的意愿，秘密讓年輕人成了婚之后，他于2月14日即牧神節的'前夕被處決。瓦倫丁死后，成了圣徒。基督教會牧師們將這個節日從15日改為14日，即，圣瓦倫丁節。現在這個節日紀念的是瓦倫丁而再不是牧神盧帕克斯。
圣瓦倫丁節在現代世界里已經成為愛和浪漫的一個主要象征。古代的愛神丘比特和他射入愛人心中的箭也許仍然被用來表現愛上某人或談戀愛。但是我們也使用卡片和禮物，比如鮮花或珠寶來做同樣的事情。在圣瓦倫丁節忘記給妻子或戀人送花有時能像忘記生日或結婚紀念日一樣糟糕。
