their prayers and wishes to the Gods who lived in the skies.

75 so on and so forth.

start putting candles on birthday cakes?

light. Cakes specifically for birthdays (rather than
weddings) originated in 15th century Germa

Do your
birthday wishes come true?
Their belief that smoke from the candles carried prayers to
the gods may have been the origin of making wishes when we

common in countries such as the UK, Ireland, Canada, and
India, involves the friends and family of the person whose

"bumping" him/her up into the air and down onto the floor.
