8月5日生日花：睡莲，外国节日中的仙子般娇艳，纪念“雪之圣母教会”建立的象征。自古以来，教里就有将圣人与特定花朵连结在一起的习惯，这因循于教会在纪念圣人时，常以盛开的花朵点缀祭坛所致！而在中世纪的天主教修道院内，更是有如园艺中心般的种植着各式各样的花朵，久而久之，教会便将366天的圣人分别和不同的花朵合在一起，形成所谓的花历。当时大部分的修道院都位在南欧地区，而南欧属地中海型气候，极适合栽种花草。人们为了纪念“雪之圣母教会”的建立，就以睡莲为祭祀的一份礼物。公元4世纪，“雪之圣母”梦示了一个奇迹，她告诉她儿子的使者：“8月5日夜晚，在罗马下雪的地方建一座教堂。”于是，他们建立了“雪之圣母教会”。

Its beauty is so mesmerizing that it has been called "the new bride of the Nile" by ancient Egyptians and featured in numerous wall paintings. It's also known as "water lily," "fragrant hyacinth," and "fairy's flower." With such enchanting names, its meaning is no surprise - seductive charm. Those born on this day are naturally alluring to others but often struggle to maintain harmonious relationships with their peers.
