Divinity and love have always seemed to bear a grand connection. And with that, roses have made their way as symbols of great depth both in romance and spirituality — or is this really a difference at all?
The proclaimed scent of sainthood, the rose holds the indescribable position of etherial holiness and worldly splendor all within its outstanding structure and appearance, a creation of formidable quality.
August 15, known by many Christians as the day of The Assumption, is intertwined with the beauty of roses. It is said, by some, that upon having prayed, a rose is scent up to Mary. Why this image, why this gesture of all things to commemorate the spiritual majesty of such a moment?
Yes, the rose has been there to speak to the most powerful motives of our existence, for love, for the turmoil of humanity in the endless quest for a enlightening experience of the universe. With that indestructible magnitude, with what great potency we handle in touching the stem of a rose, it as if it was the hypnotic principal that commanded all human life.
These are the themes that we must allow to brew within the depths of our souls upon gifting a rose. A spiritual stew of considerable complexity that blends for the most fascinating of flavors. A flower is much more than a flower, just as we are much more than the body that contains us.
