What Symbols of holiday do you know?

Hearts   A long time ago, people believed that all the emotions were found in the heart. In later years, they thought only the emotion of love was connected with the heart. The heart is still a symbol of love, and it is also a symbol of Valentine’s Day.

Cupid     Cupid is a son of Venus, goddess of love. He could cause people to fall in love by piercing them with one of his magic arrows.

Roses                         The rose was the flower of Venus, the Roman god of love. Red is a colour that stands for strong feelings. That is why the red rose is a flower of love.

Love birds and Doves.    Lovebirds are colorful parrots found in Africa. Most have red bills. They are called love birds because they sit closely together in pairs. Doves were thought to be favorite birds of Venus.

Different Colours of Roses have Different Meanings

Red Roses -   Love and passion
Yellow Roses - Friendship
White Roses - True love and purity of the mind
Orange Roses - Enthusiasm and desire

Pink Roses -  Friendship or Sweetheart

What another Symbols of holiday do you know?

Ribbons.  Ribbons go back to the days when ladies gave ribbons to their favorite knights when they went to war.

Gloves.      Years ago when a man proposed marriage to a woman he asked “for her hand”. The hand became the symbol of marriage and love. Soon gloves also became a symbol of love.

Rings.        In some countries men and women exchange rings when they became engaged or marry. Two or three hundred years ago Valentine’s Day was a popular day for giving an engagement ring. The ring usually had stone or jewel set in it. Diamonds are common in today engagement rings.
