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. Amaranthus caudatus, a plant of Amaranthaceae, was chosen to worship San Domingo, who founded Domingo Monastery in the 3rd century. This monastery, built on his ideal, became a religious institution that spread Christianity to the whole world at that time, which was completely in line with his original idea.
Huayu: Thanks for your hard work.
Amaranth commemorates the sage Sandomingo, who founded Domingo Monastery. Monks who practice in monasteries are disciplined and diligent. So its flower language is hard work. People born with this flower blessing can be said to have been born with hard work. Even in terms of feelings, I just secretly love the object I like, and there will be no result at all. If you don't take the initiative, you will easily miss the opportunity! We must pay attention to this.
Birthstone: agate
It is said that agate is called agate because its original stone shape is similar to that of horse brain. There are records of agate deeds in both the Old Testament and Buddhist classics.
In the east, it is one of the seven treasures. Agate can be divided into chalcedony and agate. The original stone with uncomplicated color is called chalcedony, and the original stone with straight and parallel stripes is called striped agate (cut agate). According to the color of the original stone, it is also called twisted agate and crimson agate. Recently, dyed black agate is generally called agate.
The legend of agate
Legend has it that Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is sleeping in the shade of a tree. Her son eros secretly cut off her shining nails and flew into the sky with them in his hand. Eros, who flew into the air, accidentally dropped her nails, and her fingers that fell to the ground turned into stones, that is, agates. Therefore, some people think that owning agate can strengthen love and adjust the feelings between themselves and their lovers. In Japanese mythology, there is a crescent-shaped green agate, which is one of the three great artifacts in Japan and is dedicated to the gods.
