XOXO and the meaning of roses
ANSWER: To answer the first part of your question, lets start with the symbol of the kiss. Medieval practice allowed those who could not write sign documents with an "X". This was done before witnesses, and the signer placed a kiss upon the "X" to show sincerity. Some believe that the "X" was chosen to represent a pledge in the name of Christ, since the "X" or Chi symbol is the letter of the Greek alphabet used in church history to represent the Son of God. To answer the second part of your question, roses have always had a link to romance. In the Victorian age, flowers spoke a language all their own, each flower had a special meaning.  • Red Rose- the way to say, "I love you" without saying a word.• Pink Rose- conveys romance and grace• White Rose-demonstrates true love • Orange/Coral Rose- shows desire• Yellow Rose- this once represented jealousy but today is joyJust think, with this information you can send an entire message to that "special someone" for them to decode!  ~Happy Valentines Day~
