Symbols of Love

0/5 ( ratings)

Love, a feeling that escapes words, can be expressed eloquently through the visual language of symbols. Exploring the icons that capture its essence, this book deciphers their origin and lore. Ethereal symbols such as Cupid and the heart. Tangible emblems like diamond rings and white doves. Who exactly was Saint Valentine, and why is this holiday celebrated by lovers? Why does a bridge need something borrowed and something blue? Why does a just-married couple get pelted with handfuls of rice? Why are lockets often given as tokens of affection? With clear explanatory text and colorful photos, the book explores these and many other signs and rituals from around the world. It also explores the culture and traditions of various regions throughout the world.
