The Shape of the Heart: Where did the symbol come from?

As with every Valentine's Day, people are presenting their loved ones with heart-shaped cards, candies and trinkets. But how did the heart shape become the unanimous symbol for love? The answers you'll get for this question are quite different and varied depending on who you ask.
During the seventh century B.C. in the city-state of Cyrene there was a plant called silphium that is now extinct. It was mostly used for seasoning but was also used for off-label use with things like birth control and mood enhancement. The plant was so important to the economy though, that coins were minted so that they would depict a seedpod which looked like the heart shape that we commonly know today.

One of the original and most well respected stories goes that this heart like symbol was first associated with sex and then, eventually, with love.

The Catholic Church contends that the heart shape and symbol did not appear until the 17th century, when Saint Margaret Mary Alocoque had a vision in which it was surrounded by thorns. This symbol eventually would become known as the Sacred Heart of Jesus and was associated with complete and utter love and devotion. It would begin to appear on many stained-glass windows in churches and in other church iconography. While the Sacred Heart symbol may have popularized the heart shape to the masses, the majority of scholars agree that it existed MUCH earlier than in the 1600's.

Still other accounts suggest that the modern heart symbol's origin comes from botched attempts at drawing an actual human heart. Many ancient scholars and philosophers viewed the heart as the center for all human passions. The medieval tradition of courtly love setups may have further reinforced the shape's association with the idea of romance. Indeed, the modern day heart symbol and all that it stands for could be a combination of all of these things that have occurred throughout our history.

So instead of worrying about where abouts the heart symbol came from and how we can better understand it, just enjoy that it has become an integral part of our society and buy that special someone a nice, jewelry gift littered with the heart symbol we all know and love!
