Mother"s Day - 13th May 2007
CARNATIONS: According to Christian legend, carnations first appeared on Earth as Jesus carried the Cross. The Virgin Mary shed tears at Jesus' plight, and carnations sprang up from where her tears fell. Thus the pink carnation became the symbol of a mother's undying love, and in 1907 was chosen by Ann Jarvis as the emblem of Mother's Day, now observed in the United States and Canada on the second Sunday in May .................................... COLOUR MESSAGES: For the most part, carnations express love, fascination, and distinction. Pink carnation the symbol of a mother's undying love. Light red carnations represent admiration. Dark red denote deep love and affection. White carnations indicate pure love and good luck. Striped symbolize a regret that a love cannot be shared. Green carnations are for St. Patrick's Day.
