============My Thursday theme for April is: suits from a deck of playing cards ==========
>>>This diary is about the card suit ‘Hearts’.
Hearts is one of the four playing card suits in a deck of French-suited playing cards.
This suit was invented in 15th century Germany. The French design was created around 1480 and was a simplified version of the existing German suit symbol for hearts in a German-suited pack.
In Bridge, it is called by its French name, “Coeur”.
The heart typically has a form of cardioid, the lower part of which ends in a point. The symbol is drawn with its tip down, the two lobes of the cardioid pointing upwards. Generally, the Hearts are colored red so they can be used in some games as a pair with Diamonds, like solitaire. They form one of the two major suits in Bridge (with Spades).
All words above from Wiki: Hearts
