The story: The ladybug, often referred to as the “beast of God,” is a symbol of good luck and protection in many cultures. Its name comes from a medieval legend according to which a ladybird was sent by the Virgin Mary to help farmers get rid of the aphids that were ravaging their crops. Because of this divine association, the ladybug is perceived as a sign of good fortune. In addition, it is said that if a ladybug lands on a person, it brings happiness and prosperity. Today, it remains a popular symbol of good luck and is often used in jewelry and decorations to attract good luck and joy.
