According to Greek mythology, the rabbit is sacred to the goddess of love, Aphrodite. It was believed that because the animal is so fertile, it possessed the spirit of the goddess; and to gift one had been viewed as signaling romantic intentions or wishing a couple a fruitful marriage.
By the 1900’s, Geoffrey Chaucer’s dream-vision of a poem, The Parliament of Fowls, popularized Saint Valentine’s Day with its symbolisms of fertility, “When every fowl comes there his mate to take” and “And little rabbits to their play went by.”
West Cobb Regional Library will host Hoppy Valentine’s Day Eve. With rabbits from micro-farm, Plant and Peck, this event will teach toddlers and preschoolers about rabbits and fiber art through crafts and activities. It will also have a Valentine’s Day photo booth, which children may take a picture with a rabbit. It also happens to be a cute way to celebrate love’s embodiment and anthropomorphization. Hoppy Valentine’s Day Eve is on Friday, February 13th at 10:00 AM.
In addition, the library has scheduled Teen Take and Make: Valentine’s Collage Bookmark. Running the week of the 14th, tweens and teens can pick up craft kits to make a floral bookmark, either for themselves or as a gift to a reader they may know. Kits will be available Monday, February 9th at 10:00 AM.
