FUN FACT: Each of the suits on a deck of cards represents the four major pillars of society/the economy in the middle ages: hearts represent the Church, spades represent the military, clubs represent agriculture, and diamonds represent the merchant class. 52 cards = 52 weeks in a year. If you count all the pips in a deck you get 364. The first Joker is 365, and the second Joker is 366, for a leap year. Then there are 12 Royals representing months. Red and black are for the winter and summer solstices. 13 cards to a suit represent the 13 weeks in a season.
