It
is believed that this tradition comes from
the ancient Greeks. They
would bring offerings to the temple of Artemis,
the goddess of the moon. The cake would be
round to symbolize the full moon and they
would put a candle on top so that it could
glow like the moon.
Many people make a wish when blowing out their
candles believing that this will bring them
good luck or that their wish will come true. |
