Hello Thomas :-)

Thank you for the very informative and interesting legends. As I am with traditions LOL, here is a bit of them:

Wishing ‘Happy Valentine's Day' to all We Love
In the beginning, Valentine's Day was associated with romantic couples only but in recent times the festival is seen in much larger perspective. Now, people take opportunity of the day to wish ‘Happy Valentine's Day' to anyone they love be it father, mother, teachers, siblings, friends, co-workers or just anyone special to them. The idea behind this tradition is to celebrate love, get love and give love to everyone around us.

Roses are our best friends, helping us with our Wishes:



Origin of Rose as a Valentine's Day Flower
According to popular legends red rose is considered to be a favorite flower of Venus - the Roman mythological Goddess of Love and Beauty. Hence the red Rose came to be associated with love and romance. Historians believe that the tradition of giving red rose on Valentine's Day became popular in the 1700s when Charles II of Sweden introduced the Persian custom of "the language of flowers" to Europe. Books giving details about meanings of particular flowers were published which demonstrated to people how entire conversations could be carried out using just the flowers. Poets and romantics at heart also eulogized red rose as a symbol of love, passion and beauty that helped to create strong association of rose with love and Valentine's Day



Meaning of Different Colors of Roses
Rose of different colors symbolizes different emotions and feelings. One therefore needs to be careful while presenting a rose to loved one:
  • Red Roses - Love and passion
  • White Roses - True love, purity of the mind and reverence
  • Yellow Roses - Friendship, celebration and joy
  • Pink Roses - Friendship or Sweetheart, admiration
  • Peach Roses - Desire and excitement or appreciation 
  • Lilac Roses - Love at first sight and enchantment
  • Coral Roses - Desire
  • Orange Roses - Enthusiasm and desire
  • Black Roses - Farewell or "It's Over"
  • Bouquet of Red and Yellow Roses: Happiness and celebrations 
  • Bouquet of Red and White Roses: Bonding and harmony 
  • Bouquet of Yellow and Orange Roses: Passion

Hugs,
Anamaria
