Saint Valentine's Day, a
holiday honoring lovers.
It is celebrated February 14 by the custom of sending
greeting cards or gifts to express affection. The
cards known as valentines, are often designed with
hearts to symbolize love. It is a day to express love
to family, friends, and sweethearts alike.
The holiday probably derives from the ancient Roman
feast of Lupercalis (February 15). The festival
gradually became associated with the feast day
(February 14) of two Roman martyrs, both named St.
Valentine, who lived in the 3rd century. St. Valentine
has tradionally been regarded as the patron saint of
lovers.
What says, "I love
you" better then a rose? For hundreds
of years poets and scholars have been able to describe
the rose only in superlatives. Roses symbolize both
peace and war, love and forgiveness
Red
roses mean love.
Yellow roses me peace.
Pink roses mean friendship or sweetheart.
White roses mean purity of the mind.
What Is Your Favorite Color And
Does It Suit You???
| Black:
People who prefer black are intense and
immediate. They rarely tease and are more likely
to just grab your hand and drag you off when the
mood strikes them...if the mood strikes them...if
they can shake that introspective moodiness long
enough to feel anything. They thrive on anger and
stress and friction...if you find yourself bound
to one of these people, keep to the edge and hang
on! |
| Blue:
Heaven and gentle waves are the hallmark of blue
lovers. They love love and can be gentle and
passionate at the same time. Blues tease and
tickle and then light candles and pull you down
to serious business. A blue can be satisfied with
one love so long as they are passionate and
joyous. Blues stick with you during hard times
and are there to dance when times are good. |
| Brown: Teddy bears and melted
chocolate for these lovers. They make caring and
sensitive partners who revel in romance and
relish togetherness. A brown lover wraps
themselves in the ideals and images of love. A
relationship with them can sweep you away into
dreams and whispers. Beware! Reality is a cold,
hard bite to these people and everything can come
unwrapped if conditions are less than
ideal. |
| Green: It's
not for nothing that green invokes visions of
gently rolling fields and fresh spring scents.
The lovers of green make enduring and endearing
partners who believe in love and romance. It's
easy to drift into a relationship with a green
lover and never disentangle yourself...or want
to. Greens understand give and take...if you give
your all in a relationship with one, you'll get
everything they have to give...just don't look at
greener pastures while they're watching
you...that's one monster you never want to face. |
| Grey: Cold
and stark...soft and enveloping. Don't stand
still too long if you're in a relationship with
someone who picks gray for their favorite color.
You'll experience both sides of that coin. A
female who loves gray comes across as cool and
professional. She can shake her hair down but a
lump in the covers can have her drifting off in
her mind to do her taxes. A man who likes gray is
hard to reach and attacks love like a duty. Grays
are best suited to other grays...together, they
form a very content union. |
| Orange:
Vibrant and intense best describe you if orange
is your favorite color. You see love as a great
party where you are the hostess or host and you
take your responsibilities seriously. If you've
been loved by one of these people, you'll never
know that all the screaming and moaning was for
your benefit and that they were only thinking of
your pleasure the whole time. Two oranges
together is a nightmare of unfulfillment! Just
don't go there! |
| Pink: Women
who favor pink are clinging to a feminine ideal
that rarely pays off in a relationship. A pink
female will flirt and tease and reel you in only
to cut bait at the crucial moment. A man who
favors pink will put you on a pedestal and just
leave you there the minute another honey wanders
by. Both are more involved in looks and the envy
of friends than the feelings of those they snare.
You can tell if you've been caught in a pink web
about 2 days after the "big party" they
dragged you to, to show you off...that's when the
calls stop and the chill starts. |
| Purple:
These lovers love themselves to the extreme.
Always make a purple lover give you a massage
first or you'll never get one! Female purple fans
are cool and always composed and they'll fuss if
you wrinkle their dress when you try to rip it
off. Male purple people are methodical and often
leave you wanting more while they wander off to
shower after any messy entanglements. |
| Red:
One small breath can spark a flame that lasts
forever. If red is your favorite color, you are
passionate in the extreme. You see no object in
your path and will aggressively stampede others
out of the way until you reach your goal. If you
meet another red lover, it's possible that the
two of you may spontaneously combust! If you're
not a red and find yourself pursued by one,
embrace the passion or get yourself a restraining
order! |
| White:
You'll never find a white lover splashing in
puddles or pulling you out to walk in the rain.
These people are intensely private and don't like
to share intimacy. Have lots of soap and shampoo
ready when you find yourself in a relationship
with one of these people. They'll spend a lot of
time in your shower, and they won't ask you to
join them! Lights out...do we really have to do
this? |
| Yellow: If
this is your fave, you're a "go with the
flow" type. A hummingbird, seeking nectar in
every sunny field and rarely settling on one
flower. You flit from the first sweet ray of
romance and often drift off when things get
serious or dark. If a yellow person turns their
glow your way...keep things bright or risk seeing
them lose their shine. Yellows should never
settle with another yellow unless both partners
are prepared to offer each other a very long
rope! |
