Rather squeezed or sliced oranges are something tasty and good for your health too.

One story of the orange goes back to Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. As they were journeying they pasted by an orange tree guarded by an eagle. Mary asked the eagle for an orange and the eagle fell asleep. She grabbed three oranges, one for each of them. Since orange trees have fruit, flowers, and foliage they have become a symbol of great fullness and therefor is sometimes used in wedding ceremonies. To dream of oranges is a good omen. In Chinese folklore oranges are a symbol of prayer or wishes for good fortune. In some countries girls try to peel oranges in one long piece. They then throw the peels over their shoulder. The initials it lands in is the initials of the boy that likes them.
