The Seneca Indians associate strawberries with spring and rebirth, because strawberries were the first fruit of the year to ripen. They also believe that strawberries grow along the path to the heavens and that they bring good health. 

According to Roman legend, when Adonis died, Venus wept uncontrollably. The tears rolled down her cheek and dropped to the earth turning into heart shaped strawberries. 

Many cultures believe that strawberries are an aphrodisiac and they make sure that newlyweds are served these magical berries. In parts of Europe, the strawberry, is considered sacred to the Virgin Mary, who is said to accompany children when they go strawberry picking on St. John's Day.
