According to legend, in ancient Greece, people believed in themis, the goddess of the moon. This is a beautiful and kind goddess who protects the Greek people, so on her birthday, people will take out cakes to show their piety and insert some candles at the same time, which they think can decorate a sacred atmosphere.

Over time, this habit has also entered ordinary families. Out of love for their children, parents will put cakes and other things on their children's birthdays, and then insert many small candles. Because they believe that these candles will bring good luck to their children. At the same time, let the child make a wish, blow out the candles in one breath, and let the moon goddess realize the child's wish.

In this way, this habit has been handed down, and now it has even become a common ceremony all over the world.
