Meaning of the flower:

The flower of Saint Casimir, the patron saint who died at the age of 26

Since ancient times, Christianity has had the custom of linking saints with specific flowers, which originated from the church often decorating altars with blooming flowers when commemorating saints! In the medieval Catholic monasteries, various flowers were cultivated almost like in a gardening center. Over time, the church associated the 366 days' saints with different flowers respectively, forming the so-called flower calendar. At that time, most monasteries were located in Southern Europe, and Southern Europe has a Mediterranean climate, very suitable for growing flowers and plants. Chickweed is the flower chosen to honor the patron saint who died at the age of 26 -- Saint Casimir. It belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family and grows all over the world, from forests and fields to the walls of homes, and even roadsides, this small flower can be seen everywhere.

The tender leaves can be eaten by people, and the seeds are loved by chickens and birds, so it can be said to be a blessing of the earth. Therefore, its flower meaning is - grace.
