As soon as the buzz of the New Year dies down, you’ll start seeing signs of Valentine’s Day in stores and other places. And what’s the most tell-tale sign of all? Hearts, without a doubt!

But have you ever wondered about how a heart symbol came to be associated with love?

The pine cone was drawn in a way that resembles the present-day heart symbol. Interesting!
