Zonta Rose
March 8th is International Woman's Day & Zonta Rose Day.
International Woman's Day was established by the United Nations in 1977 to celebrate the rights of women and international peace. Zonta Rose Day is celebrated the same day to raise awareness of women's progress and to outline future steps to improve the status of women. The Yellow Rose is an important symbol for Zonta and the Suffrage Movement in the US. Throughout history, the color yellow has been closely associated with the sun. As the source of light and warmth, the sun is integral to life on Earth, and has been worshiped in early societies. In many Eastern cultures, for example, the color yellow represents joy, wisdom and power. Today yellow roses are more commonly associated with joy and friendship. In contrast to the romantic meanings attributed to other roses, the yellow rose is purely a symbol for friendship. |
