How Birthday Traditions were started
Where did Cakes come from?
Why do we take those special birthday cakes in the day?
- Goddess of the Greek moon, used to present cakes in the temple of Artemis. Those round cakes we love representes the full moon.
- But it was not just Greek who introduced cakes for birthday, the Germans made a cake named Gabertstagort, which was used for birthday.
So now you know why the cake is part of our birthday party!
How did Candles make their debut for birthdays?
- The Greeks put candles on the round cake brought in Artemis They do this because it reflects the bright moon.
- The Germans were known for making candles, and they use those small candles which we use today to decorate our cakes and then take them out.
- some Germans used a large candle in the center of the cake which means 'the light of life'. How appropriate is it to celebrate the arrival of the age.
- Smoke from the fire will take your desires to heaven, this is the reason why we ask the birthday stars to fulfil their wishes because they carry their candles.
- Do you know the challenge of trying to blow candles at once? Well, it was clearly done to bring good luck. Even today many people believe that this act will make this wish come true.
Why do we give birthday cards?

Let luck come shining through
- This is where the flower was given as a gift. But it was not the only flower. The birthplace, flowers which we have said and the colors were all given as gifts of good luck.
Why do we sing 'Happy Birthday to you'?
- We all sing the old song "Happy Birthday", but where did this come from the world? Well, this traditional song was written by two sisters, Mildred and Patty Hill, all in 1893! Wow, that's a long time ago. Incredibly it was originally written as 'Good morning', and after that, the form was taken as we know today.
Some birthday customs from around the world
