This year's theme is ordsprog

This year's theme is bread and roses [inspired by the 'Bread and Roses' strike by American women textile workers in 1912]. The bread stands for the need for affordable food, and the roses represent the need to be dignified and the call for social justice.

To coincide with Valentine's Day we were making a statement demanding roses and the dignity they stand for and bread in the form of affordable food for everyone.

One may live without bread, not without roses

If it is a big office and everybody gets a vase of red roses, but somebody gets a vase of hot pink and orange roses or green roses, it makes the other women green with envy. Flowers say a lot. They don't last forever, but the excitement sticks with them.

Roses, roses are always a favorite. It's an expression of love, everybody knows what the rose stands for.

He takes bread, he raises his eyes to heaven, he breaks the bread, he blesses it, he eats the bread and he distributes it among us. And the bread that he will bless will be for us the true body of our Lord.

We are not to comprehend;
the secret of roses, but maybe
swimming in the incantation of roses.
Or may be looking for
the song of truth
between the morning glory,
and the century.

Roses are my favorite flower. I developed a passion for them. And in my own garden, I didn't want to be fussing with just roses. I enjoyed other plants as well,

They all like their special rose. Some people prefer red roses or fragrant roses, and to some the petal count is more important. There's lots of different varieties out there.

Strew on her roses, roses, / And never a spray of yew. / In quiet she reposes: / Ah! would that I did too!
