Cupid is associated with Valentine’s Day because he is a symbol of love. His parentage is unclear, but many believe the Greek and Roman god was son of Venus (or Aphrodite), goddess of love. The mischievous winged child was known to shoot people through the heart with his magic arrow, causing them to fall deeply in love. In one story, Cupid himself fell in love with a mortal named Psyche, who eventually became a goddess because of his love and devotion. The fantasy that Cupid’s arrow could shoot through your heart at any moment is alluring for singles everywhere, making it a perfect match for Valentine’s Day!
