Valentine's


It's Valentines!!! Time to put love in the air. I started decorating this past week. When the kids came home from school the other day they wanted to know why I had hung a naked baby on the windows! Well, his name is cupid. In Roman mythology, Cupid is the god of desire, affection and erotic love. He is the son of goddess Venus and god Mars.
Cupid is the most famous of Valentine symbols and everybody knows that boy armed with bow and arrows, and piercing hearts . He is known as a mischievous, winged child armed with bow and arrows. The arrows signify desires and emotions of love, and Cupid aims those arrows at Gods and Humans, causing them to fall deeply in love. Cupid has always played a role in the celebrations of love and lovers. In ancient Greece he was known as Eros, the young son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty.
