The personification of love andcourtship, Cupid is depicted with abow and quiver of arrows. The notionthat being hit by Cupid’s arrow willmake the victim fall in love comesfrom the myth of Cupid and Psyche.

Likely the most common symbol forlove is the heart. At one time, scholarsbelieved the heart was the seat of allhuman emotions. Giving a heartsignified the act of giving everything tosomeone you love.

Roses represent beauty, purity andromance. Each color adds furthermeaning, with red depicting true love.

Doves have long been considereda sign of faithful and eternal lovebecause they remain a pair for life.
