Symbols of Valentine’s Day
Birds have always been associated with love and most especially, Valentines Day. The reasons for this is that February 14 is the day that birds choose to mate. Some famous lovebirds are lovebirds and the dove.
Lovebirds symbolize love because they sit close together in pairs. On the other hand, birds symbolize loyalty, fidelity, and love. Doves are loyal to their partners for life and they always stick around to take care of their offspring.
On Valentines Day, many single people get the blues because they don’t have a valentine to give them something special. But good news, all you single people, the people that get the most valentines a year are teachers. After teachers, the people that most receive valentines are children, mothers, wives and finally a person’s partner.
The people that make the most valentines are children which make 650 million valentines a year. All of these things are probably due to the fact that children traditionally pass out valentines to their classmates on Valentines Day.
As most of you may know, the rose is the most popular flower on Valentines Day. But you probably didn’t know that over 110 million of these flowers will be sold and delivered in 3 days.
Even though California produces 60 % of the roses in the United States, most of the roses that are bought on Valentines Day will be delivered from South America. The red rose became a symbol of love because it was said that it was the favorite flower of Venues, the Roman goddess of love.
