Short History of Greeting Cards
The tradition of sending your greetings and best wishes is in
fact very old.
Some of earliest cultures to use New Year greeting cards date
back to ancient China and the Egyptians used to scribble their
dearest and best wishes down on papyrus.
However, it was only by the 14-15th century that the Europeans
finally caught on to the greeting cards exchange tradition.
But better late than never, right. 🙂
Why Dame Fortune Is on Many Cards for New Year's
When you scroll down to look at the many New Years greeting
cards below, you will notice that some of the old vintage New
Year cards feature Dame Fortune as a Gypsy woman (or go here to
find more Dame Fortune Happy New Year Cards).
Dame Fortune or (Fortuna, as she is also called), is originally
quite an ambiguous goddess of fortune in Roman religion.
She can be in a good mood and bring you luck, which of course is
nice!
However, she can also be less charitable and bring you bad luck!
Not so nice, obviously!
So as you can see staying on Dame Fortune good side is
definitely to prefer.
What on Earth Is Death Doing on the Cards?
Well, first of all the old white bearded man with the long
cloak that you may see on New Years greeting cards is actually
not Mr. Death himself.
No, he is Father Time! Father can be easily recognized as he is
often holding a scythe or an hourglass. Father Time represents
changes; death being one of them.
In New Years cards he most often depicted as defeated by a sweet
little angel or a young woman (his wife Mother Earth).
In this way his defeat may symbolize the beginning of a new life
cycles starting January first.
Anyway, enough talking for now …
