Why use birthday candles?

The use of candles on a birthday cake is a tradition that dates back to ancient times. The Greeks celebrated birthdays by offering round cakes to Artemis, the goddess of the moon, with lit candles to mimic the moonlight.

Over time, the use of candles has become more modern and widespread in many cultures around the world. They add a special and festive touch to birthday celebrations and help to count down the years of the person being celebrated.

The ritual around the birthday candle also creates a warm atmosphere, we all stop for a moment, lights out, with only the candles lit and the face of the person being celebrated lit up!
