In ancient times, when people and gods lived closer to each other, the goddess of love Aphrodite decided to create the most beautiful flower to symbolize her power and beauty. She collected the rays of the morning sun, dew drops from the purest springs and the gentlest clouds from the sky. From them, she created a flower that she called "rose".
The rose was so beautiful that all the gods and men admired it. Its petals were soft and velvety, and its fragrance was intoxicating and sweet like love. Aphrodite placed the flower in her garden on Olympus, where no one was allowed to touch it.
But one day the young god of art and poetry Apollo, fascinated by the rose, asked to pluck it and give it to his muse. When he reached out to take it without thinking, a thorn from the stem of the rose stung him, and blood flowed from the wound. The drops of Apollo's blood fell on the rose and stained some of its flowers red.
From that day on, the rose became a symbol not only of beauty, but also of passion, love and the sacrifice that comes with it. The red rose has become a sign of love, but also of the pain that sometimes comes with it.
This legend reminds us that love, like the rose, can be both tender and beautiful, but also full of thorns that bring pain. However, people are always ready to seek it and sacrifice themselves for it.
