The meaning of myrtle:

The history of the Myrtle wreath goes back to ancient times. Myrtle was dedicated to the Roman goddess of love "Venus", in Greek mythology it was the goddess Aphrodite, known as the goddess of love and beauty. Therefore the branches of Myrtle are emblematic for love beyond death, but also for virginity, vitality and many healthy children.

This custom was introduced to Germany in the 16th century. Myrtle crowns were worn selling at weddings and wedding anniversaries, for the men, there were appropriate pins. From the Myrtle wreath of the bride, a branch was put into the ground after the wedding, so that a myrtle tree was to grow. The evergreen plant was to symbolize a lasting marital bliss.
