For thousands of years, the kiss has been a part of our culture. The reasons we kiss can also be varied. Although love and passion are the most common reasons for kissing, the kiss has also been used as a greeting.. Kissing a cheek can be traced back to Christian traditions in certain cultures.. The tradition of kissing the Blarney Stone in Ireland has existed for centuries, and is believed to bestow the kisser with the gift of eloquence and persuasiveness. Kissing the feet of royalty or those in power is another medieval tradition that has hopefully has been banished.. Kissing the ring of someone to demonstrate fidelity is a similar act of kissing.
Hand-kissing is the result.. Although this gesture demonstrates loyalty to someone, it has a friendlier tone than that of kissing feet.. For some, it's a mark of respect and admiration.
National Kissing Day is more than a history lesson. a. It helps us to reconnect and draw closer to our loved ones. If it's a peck on the cheek or a passionate kiss, kissing brings joy. Endorphins are released by kissing, which in turn tells our brain that it's healthy. Our anxiety is reduced as we kiss, and our blood pressure decreases as well. Maybe those boo-boo kisses from mom have some real power..
