It conveys a physical and emotional closeness, highlighting the warmth and intimacy of the action.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, embracing was a common gesture of greeting, affection, and familial love. It was a way to show acceptance, protection, and a deep personal connection.
