Why exactly does the red roses give a loved one?

Many people think that K + M + B are the first letters of the names of the Three Kings. This is not true. This entry is derived from the Latin abbreviation CMB or Christus Mansion Benedicat, which means “May Christ bless this house.” This is a very old tradition. Already in the Old Testament, in the Book of Exodus, there is a reference to the Angel of Death who killed the original, avoiding the blood-marked lamb of the door.
