Mother of the Virgin Mary. Flower of St. Ann

Christianity has the habit of associating saints with specific flowers since ancient times, because the church often decorates the altar with blooming flowers when commemorating saints! In medieval Catholic monasteries, flowers were planted like gardening centers. Over time, the church combined 366-day saints with different flowers to form a so-called flower calendar. Most of the monasteries at that time were located in southern Europe, which belonged to the Mediterranean climate and was very suitable for planting flowers and plants. German chamomile, belonging to the daisy family, is a flower chosen to sacrifice to the mother of the Virgin Mary-Saint Ann. It is produced in Europe and Russian Central Asia, and grows in Yuan Ye and wasteland. In addition, it can often be seen in corn fields after harvest.

Flower language: longevity

German chamomile is a flower in memory of Saint Ann, the mother of the Virgin Mary. She died at an advanced age, so its flower language is "longevity". In fact, this flower has the effect of reducing fire and calming the nerves, which is really helpful for health and longevity. Anyone who is blessed by this flower pays great attention to the health and physical health of children. Falling in love is just right. I like to cultivate my feelings in a down-to-earth and serious way.

Birthstone: Ruby

Ruby is older than diamond. In ancient India, because of the pure color of rubies, people at that time thought that rubies must be burning with eternal flames.

In ancient Egypt, it was the symbol of the supreme king. In medieval Europe, rubies were regarded as the precious stones of God's mercy. Because the red color of ruby is like "pigeon blood", its red color is commonly known as "pigeon blood". People think that ruby has the ability to eliminate suspicion and jealousy of love, so it is also considered as the guardian stone of love.

The legend of ruby

Myanmar is a major producer of the highest quality rubies. Legend has it that in Mandalay, Myanmar, there once appeared a peerless and beautiful princess-Najia. Princess Najia, who couldn't stand being disturbed, came up with a way to refuse: Young Yongfu would marry him as long as he could get rid of the cannibal dragon in the mountains. One by one, these confident princes became the food of dragon eaters, and finally only a ragged young man got rid of the demon dragon. Back in the palace, the poor young man suddenly became the prince of the sun, and Najia looked at him shyly. Just then, after a flash, two people suddenly disappeared, leaving only three eggs. The first hatched the king of Myanmar, the second hatched the emperor China, and the third hatched the "flame stone"-ruby.
