#vena amoris

[gatheringofaccounts]

Welcome to...

fun facts with Goa!

did you know that the tradition of wearing romantic jewellery on the ring finger dates back to ancient Egypt, when it was believed that a vein called the "vena amoris" (quite literally 'vein of love' in Latin) ran directly from the tip of that finger to the heart?

Well, now you know!

I have a vision for living. It’s all about beauty as my wife did it. It’s about all the things that I love, that I believe in.

Will Graham is a producer on a Bachelor knock off reality TV show. Against his protests and better judgement, Dr. Hannibal Lecter is cast as the primary love interest on the show. Despite his many initial misgivings, Hannibal is a hit, and Will finds himself as drawn into the story Hannibal is creating as everyone watching at home. Everything is going well until Will becomes suspicious that he is the real object of Hannibal's affections, and all of a sudden contestants start to turn up murdered.

"Vena Amoris" is the (Mythical!) vein that runs from the ring finger to the heart; supposedly that is why we wear wedding rings on that finger.
