| Valentine's Rose |
| The most popular flower on Valentine's Day is the red rose. Reasons for the same are two-fold, one is that the color red represents love, and Valentine's Day is the day of love, so the natural choice has to be a red rose. The second reason is in relation to the mythological significance of red rose, it is the favorite flower of Venus - the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty and this also makes it the perfect choice to be given to someone you love. The rose has become the symbol of love and romance by poets, writers and philosophers. |
| Valentine's Hearts |
| Red heart pierced by the Cupid's arrow is a traditional symbol of Valentine's Day. Heart symbolizes love and giving someone a heart means to hand over one's existence to someone. A heart pierced by a Cupid's arrow means that when someone presents a heart, the person takes the risk of being rejected and feeling hurt. Piercing arrow therefore symbolizes death and vulnerability of love. Love is worth the risk as we become more fully ourselves by loving an "other". |

Love is always bestowed as a gift
-- freely, willingly, and without
expectation....
We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
