The Valentine Heart:
-
The heart is associated to Valentine's Day as it is considered the
source of all human emotions. The custom of drawing a heart shape is
supposed to have come from early attempts to draw an organ that no one
had seen. The symbol came on to become as a sign of love.
-
The heart has been the most common figure of romantic love over the
decades. Ancient cultures believed the human soul lived in the heart.
The heart may be linked with love because the ancient Greeks believed it
was the goal of Eros, known as Cupid to the Romans. Anyone shot in the
heart by one of Cupid's arrows would fall hopelessly in love. Because
the heart is also closely linked to love, its red color is considered as
most romantic. -http://www.mydearvalentine.
