Cupid - The Angel Of Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day conjures up images of romance - a dozen roses, dinner by candlelight, a heart-shaped box of chocolates. One can scarcely think of the holiday though, without thinking of Cupid with his bow and quiver of arrows, poised to charge romance into unsuspecting hearts. Angel lore says that if you're stricken by this playful cherub's arrow (often depicted with a tip in the form of a heart) you'll right away fall in love with the next someone you see.

Cupid was a beloved field on the Victorian's extravagantly decorated valentines, and is still much in examine on today's current Hallmark cards. It seems that there are enduring themes surrounding this beloved holiday. There are playful cards from school days relying heavily on puns to get their message across, such as a dutch boy and girl with the caption, "Wooden shoe by my Valentine?" There are cards with a light touch, such as a cute animal couple shown in a range of situations accompanied by a breezy verse. Then there are the all-out romantic cards with hearts and lacy flourishes, often showing the Angel of the Hour himself, Cupid.
