Question

Why the ancient people lit candles in birthday's parties?​

Answer 1

Resposta:

It was in ancient Greece, in honor of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, revered on the sixth day of each month. According to mythology, this deity was represented by the Moon, the way in which it protected the Earth. The round cake, covered with lit candles, symbolized the full moon.

Explicação:

(tradução)Foi na Grécia antiga, em homenagem a Artêmis, deusa da caça, reverenciada no sexto dia de cada mês. Segundo a mitologia, essa divindade era representada pela Lua, a forma pela qual protegia a Terra. O bolo redondo, coberto de velas acesas, simbolizava a lua cheia.
