In olden days it was believed that the heart was the center of all your emotions. So to give your heart to someone was to give that person all of your love. Now we know that the heart is a pump for your blood and that your emotions are experienced throughout your body. But the heart remains the unmistakable symbol of love. Giving someone a lung filled with candy often causes confusion, so don't even consider it. |

Cupid is the most famous of the Valentine symbols. He is most commonly shown as a mischievous, winged child of the goddess Venus, armed with bow and arrows.

As you can imagine this leads to some very troubled relationships. | |
