Thorns and roses ... what a reminder to people???

Rose and Thorns ... Light and shadow ... Love and hate ... Pleasure and pain ... .. Beauty and inaccessibility.

Knights once likened give your heart with roses. They seemed equally beautiful and unapproachable, like this flower. On the boards of many of the Knights as an emblem was engraved rose

St. Ambrose tells how a rose appeared spikes. Even before becoming a land of flowers, the rose growing in the garden, and then she did not have thorns. Only after the fall of man rose and put on the spikes, that remind a person of their sins committed, and the expulsion from paradise; however, the flavor and the beauty of the roses continue to remind him of heavenly bliss. Perhaps due to this legend the Virgin Mary is called "rose without thorns", because, according to tradition, she was free from original sin.
