Why send chocolates and roses instead of butterscotch and lilies for Valentine's Day?

The beautiful legend of Valentine's Day

Legend has it that Valentine's Day originated from the faun festival in ancient Rome, and it is said that birds began to mate on this day. It was the custom at that time that every young man drew lots from a box, and there was a note in the box with the name of a young woman written on it. Whoever drew the lot became the young man's sweetheart. Later, the festival was changed to commemorate a Christian saint named Valentine.

Saint Valentine, a young Christian missionary in ancient Rome, ventured to spread Christianity and was arrested and imprisoned. He touched the old jailer and his blind daughter and got their careful care. Before he was executed, Saint Valentine wrote a letter to the girl, expressing his deep affection for her. On the day when he was executed, the blind girl planted an apricot tree with red flowers in front of his grave to express her feelings. This day is 14 February.

Now, on Valentine's Day, many young men also make postcards of courting St. Valentine into exquisite handicrafts and cut them into butterflies and flowers to express their deep affection for their lovers. The way for men and women to express their love is generally that boys send their sweethearts a red rose and girls send their sweethearts a box of heart-shaped chocolates.

The moral of chocolate and roses

Chocolate tastes like love. Sweet and bitter are mixed. As soon as you eat it, you can immediately enjoy the pleasure of melting, just like lovers' whispers, warm and sweet. In addition, after eating chocolate, it can replenish physical strength and make people excited, which also entrusts the giver with good wishes for his lover. May love be as sweet as this chocolate and his lover be healthy and happy.

In Greek mythology, the rose is not only the incarnation of the beautiful god, but also dissolved in the blood of the god of love. It combines love and beauty, which is quite lucky in the flower country. It can be said that roses are the universal language used to express love all over the world. Rose is the national flower of the United States, Britain, Spain, Luxembourg and Bulgaria. They believe that roses are the embodiment of love, peace, friendship, courage and dedication. So it's perfect to send chocolates and roses on Valentine's Day.

Valentine's day is coming. May all lovers get married. Let sweet chocolate and beautiful roses accompany you to spend a romantic and warm holiday!
