When it comes to Valentine’s Day, we often think of pinks, reds, hearts, and of course, Cupid. But have you ever wondered why these colors and symbols are so closely tied to the holiday? The tradition of using reds and pinks dates back to the 17th century when red was seen as a symbol of love and passion, while pink represented affection and tenderness. And who exactly is Cupid?
