答案                         Valentine’s Day
    Valentine’s Day is celebrated annually with fervor in memory of martyrdom of Saint Valentine on 14th of February every year. The exact historic evolvement of the day is murky. There were numerous priests in the history with the name Valentine. It is hard to make a specific relation with any of these priests as little historical record is available about them. But the most commonly accepted version is that Saint Valentine was a priest of Rome in the 3rd century. The emperor had an opinion that bachelor men made a better army than the married ones. So, in view of expanding his army base, he prohibited the marriage of young men and forced them to join army to serve the nation. Saint Valentine was, however, against his autocratic law and he continued to perform marriages of young couples in secret. When the Emperor discovered his actions and intentions, he ordered death penalty for the priest. Therefore, the day is celebrated in remembrance of the martyrdom of the priest for love.
