Originally, cupid and his mother were the Madonna and child of
ancient Babylon. He is always represented as a naked little boy with
wings. Cupid is Latin for Eros the god of Love from ancient Greece,
and Amor the Roman god of love, son of Venus and either Mercury
or Mars. This day is dedicated to the fertility worship of ancient Greece,
Rome and Babylon, but has nothing to do with God's Word.
