So it's based on carnation flower?
The flower symbolize love, fascination, distinction, and devotion very suitable ~
Well, in the novel, the carnation children always hold onto a red carnation flower to show everybody that they’re from the Carnation orphanage. It’s their symbol and I guess the meaning of the flower is why they chose it. Makes sense
A carnation child is a very specific term for an orphan who tries their hardest to work and be useful. These children are taken into the temples even if they don’t become chosen by a god as a servant to work because they’re well known as kids that work hard and well.
