每年都是这样:在你变老的那一天,他们总是给你烤一个肥美的蛋糕,为你唱歌祝贺,作为 "回应",你必须吹灭生日蜡烛。 当然,有些人对这种活动和仪式深恶痛绝,但总的来说,世界各地的人们都是这样庆祝自己出生的日子。

你是否曾想过这一习俗从何而来,如何产生,吹灭蜡烛的象征性行为意味着什么? 如果这些问题让你充满疑惑,今天的文章将帮助你重新理清思路。

根据历史学家的说法,吹灭生日蜡烛的行为可以追溯到许多世纪以前,最早记录在古希腊。 当时,这种仪式是为了纪念狩猎女神阿耳特弥斯,她在每个月的第六天受到人们的尊敬。

18世纪左右,德国的专家也发现了这一习俗。 当时,农民们通过kinderfeste(即我们所知道的儿童节)复活了这一仪式(尽管还不知道是如何复活的)。

为了记住和纪念孩子的出生日,他或她会在早上收到一个装满点燃的蜡烛的蛋糕,这些蜡烛会一直点着。 不同的是,蛋糕上的蜡烛总是比年龄多一根,代表未来。

最后,男孩或女孩在提出要求后,必须在沉默中吹灭生日蜡烛。 当时,人们认为,只有在除了生日男孩或女孩之外,没有人知道这个要求是什么的情况下,这个要求才会得到满足,而蜡烛的烟雾有 "力量 "将这个要求带到上帝那里。

而你,你知道为什么总有人告诉你要吹灭生日蜡烛吗? 我们不知道!
