Rose Valentine's Day originated in Greek mythology, in Greek mythology, the goddess of love Aphrodite in search of her lover Adonis, running in the rose bushes, roses pierced her hands and legs, blood dripping on the petals of roses, white roses have become red, red roses have also become a symbol of steadfast love.
The roots of today's so-called Valentine's Day can be traced back to ancient Greece, where the worship of Pan was very popular. Pan was a god of fertility, depicted as a half-man, half-goat, with a rough, temperamental temperament that made people panic at the thought of him. In fact, the English word "panic" literally means "Pan's", which is a very evocative derivation.
Pan is supposed to be playing the bagpipe and watching over the herd. But he was easily distracted. Pan had many affairs with fairies and goddesses. One engraving describes Pan as being close to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and Eros hovering above them, like Cupid depicted on today's Valentine's Day cards.
Many Romans worshipped a similar deity called Faunus. He was also depicted as half man, half goat. At the annual Pastoral Festival on February 15, the Romans would worship Faunus with wild revelry. During this festival, men clad in inches would run around the mountains waving goat-skin whips in their hands. Any woman who wished to bear a child stood beside the track. The Romans believed that if the running man hit the woman with the whip, her infertility would be cured.
