IT IS BACK TO A THOUSAND 700 YEARS You wouldn't believe it, but the basis of birthday cake and candle blowing behavior actually goes back to the 1700s. Birthday events that started in Germany in those years had a very, very different purpose. The habit of blowing candles from the Greek Goddesses was added to the birthday celebration habit that started in Germany in the 18th century in order to protect the souls of children from evil spirits.
The tradition of blowing candles, one of the sect traditions of Artemis, one of the ancient Greek goddesses, was suddenly added to the birthday events that started in Germany.
FROM DESSERT PASTRY TO PASTE The birthday cake, which has become an ordinary tradition of all societies over time, was mostly made with round sweet donuts or similar snacks in those years. The beginning of sewing candles on carefully prepared donuts has now put the birthday events into a ceremony atmosphere. In fact, the origin of the cakes prepared for birthdays also goes back to Ancient Rome. Flat and circular cakes used for birthdays in ancient Rome evolved, changed and turned into a variety of cakes over time. GREEK GODDESSES AND CANDLES The birthday parties, which started with the aim of protecting the souls of German children from evil, were also held in Ancient Egypt. However, later modernized birthday cakes were added to these ceremonies, which were held only for royal family members in Egypt. The royal family birthday events held in Egypt and birthday events for the Gods in Ancient Greece came together in common geographies somehow. The tradition of blowing candles is based on a kind of worship performed specially for the 6th birthday of the Ancient Greek Goddess Artemis. The Greeks, who wanted to worship Artemis, almost competed to light and blow candles at that time, and they even went on the road to glorify Artemis by sewing candles on sweet cakes and cakes. This tradition descended from the Greek Goddesses to the Greek nobility, heroes, nobility, and then gradually the whole society. Blowing candles became an essential part of Greek society. The habit of blowing candles, which has become a tradition for the purposes of protecting gods from evil spirits, worshiping and making them happy, has become a common practice in today's society. As well as the strangeness and strangeness of this learned information, making wishes while blowing candles is also engraved in memories as a separate strange behavior.
