Zulu Love Letter

my Zulu Love Letter
We stopped by Shakaland again on our recent visit to KZN with my sister. While I was there, I bought another Valentine for Vince. A Zulu love letter.

Zulu Love Letters are African Beaded messages given by Zulu maidens to their lovers as symbols of their love and affection, each bead color of the Zulu Love Letter conveys a different message. The one I bought used only four colors:

WHITE: symbol of hope, purity, cleanliness and true love.
GREEN: love sickness, jealousy, I have become as thin as a blade of grass from pining for you. 
BLUE: faithfulness, if I were a dove I would fly through blue skies to reach you. 
RED: intense love, longing, my heart bleeds with love for you.

Happy Zulu Valentine's Day!
