festival of the rose in honor of this native of Palermo,
who dedicated herself to the worship of the Virgin
Mary. June 5 is the Full Strawberry Moon, which the
Europeans know as the Full Rose Moon.

of “perfect excellence ” To affirm y<
affections for a loved one, the appro
priate gift is roses, of course. It n
said that a woman can tell the stren;
her admirer’s feelings by snappi
stem of the rose he gives her The
snap, the stronger the affections. Dreaming of red roses
is a sign of good fortune
From a 11th e youths of Sicily, St. Rosalia
